Bereaved men are often desperately lost. . |
||||
|
Caught trying to cope with society's expectations of strength, their emotions confuse
them. Men flounder as they struggle to maintain equilibrium in their lives. . |
||||
|
| Confronted by mortality, men dislike themselves for being
vulnerable. . |
|||
|
they experience anger
|
they suffer guilt
|
they discover the world does
not turn as it should
|
|
And as they question their will to survive, they are afraid.
Making Meaning of the Madness is beautifully written, poignant: a MUST READ for bereaved fathers, it will give them insight and understanding of their emotions and will justify their feelings and hopefully give them permission to express them. Bereaved mothers and siblings, as well, will find it sensitive, honest and beneficial. Especially recommended for the newly bereaved, it offers hope and comfort along with practical coping advice.

Tragic, untimely death tears apart the lives of those left behind.
But this book is not about the tragedy of death. It is about HOPE. It will offer comfort to the many people who suffer the pangs of loss. It provides assurance that through time, sufferers will discover a renewed purpose in living.
This book is intended to help men cope with grief and to let them know they are not alone in their misery. Men need to understand that the insanity they think they are suffering is normal.
Author Dan Lundine knows of what he writes. Early Sunday morning, December 18th, 1994, his twenty-five year old son died suddenly. He tells us:
| Death does tough things to people. But through time, if we can accept our reality and understand ourselves, we can begin to heal. We will survive our pain! Lives have been irrevocably altered, but with time and love, there can come meaning out of the madness. |
