From Those Death Left Behind

From Those Death Left Behind

Here it is my first book, I still can’t believe it, shocked, elated, and truly overjoyed I can now really call myself a writer.

My book “From Those Death Left Behind” is dedicated to the memory of my father, who sadly took his own life in 1990.   He will always be remembered in my heart.  Anyone interested in purchasing this book can do so from my website http://www.amandawrites.com/ftdlb from Lulu http://www.lulu.com/content/120733 and it is also available from Amazon.

Here is an extract, let me know what you think:

Overcoming death and beginning once again to live is the one thing that we never anticipate happening after we have experienced death. The truth is however, that whether we like it or not life continues on. The decision that we need to make is whether we wish to move on with life.
It can often help to remember that although our loved ones have left us in this life they are still there watching over us and guiding us through the rest of our lives. They will never stop loving us and will never fully leave us. As long as we need them they will be there.
Taking the first step is always the hardest and this is where sharing your feelings can help, be it sharing with someone close, a stranger or even through writing, expressing how we feel is always the first and hardest step in the recovery from death. I know that I say recovery but let me assure you that you will never fully recover, once you have been touched by death your life changes and you as a person also change. Your outlook on life changes and you finally understand that life is but a pathway to death.
Life will always continue to progress and a new day will always follow night. Even after death, life, the one thing we wish we could control is just like death itself uncontrollable. Learning to live again is one of the hardest things we face after death but like life it is something that happens. Through writing and expressing what we feel we help to deal with the emotions we are feeling, the grief, the pain, the anger and the loss, all these feeling can be spilled out onto the paper and can help to ease the suffering. These writings just like the ones in this book may in turn help others come to terms with their pain and suffering.
Remember, anyone who purchases this book will be donating to a very worthy cause – SUICIDE AWARENESS.

Take care,
