Do you love someone enough to let them go?It was love at first
sight when talented art student Felicity "Flick" Johnston-Hart and
Jim MacDuff's worlds collided at Oxford University. However, after
years of blissful marriage, everything crashes down when their
marriage comes to a painful and abrupt end, thanks to Flick's
interfering mother Penelope. Finally succumbing to maternal
pressure, Flick falls into the high-flying career her mother
believed she was destined for. However, she soon realises life
without Jim isn't all she'd hoped, and that some decisions, once
made, cannot be undone. Meanwhile, Jim is settling back into life
as a single man in the beautiful Highland village of Shieldaig,
when an unexpected visitor brings painful news. A letter from
beyond the grave leads him to do something he never imagined and
takes him on a journey he didn't anticipate. Can either of them
heal and truly move on? Or is it true that a broken heart can never
be a blank canvas? This book was previously published as Through

This book is an activity book designed to help counselors in a
group setting help children following a death. The book is divided
into three sections: children's activities (ages 5-8), preteen
activities (ages 9-12), and teen activities (ages 13-18). In each
section counselors can choose from a variety of opening activities
designed to promote discussion and main activities that involve a
specific topic or theme. There is also a special holiday section.
In February 2019, award-winning writer Alex Roddie left his online
life behind when he set out to walk 300 miles through the Scottish
Highlands, seeking solitude and answers. In leaving the chaos of
the internet behind for a month, he hoped to learn how it was truly
affecting him - or if he should look elsewhere for the causes of
his anxiety. The Farthest Shore is the story of Alex's solo trek
along the remote Cape Wrath Trail. As he journeyed through a
vanishing winter, Alex found answers to his questions, learnt the
nature of true silence, and discovered frightening evidence of the
threats faced by Scotland's wild mountain landscape.
To watch a child grieve and not know what to do is a profoundly difficult experience for parents, teachers, and caregivers. Yet, there are guidelines for helping children develop a lifelong, healthy response to loss. In When Children Grieve, the authors offer a cutting-edge volume to free children from the false idea of "not feeling bad" and to empower them with positive, effective methods of dealing with loss. There are many life experiences that can produce feelings of grief in a child, from the death of a relative or a divorce in the family to more everyday experiences such as moving to a new neighborhood or losing a prized possession. No matter the reason or degree of severity, if a child you love is grieving, the guidelines examined in this thoughtful book can make a difference.
