For those who have a friend that has been devastated by the loss of
a loved one. When others care enough to rub shoulders with grieving
friends and are willing to be inconvenienced. It requires someone
to care enough to put aside cliche condolences and stick close
through a long grieving process. An individual's grief can never be
'fixed'. But friends can wash a sink full of dishes, listen, go
along on a cemetery visit. Sharing another's grief is not about
'fixing-it'- it's about showing up.Harold Ivan Smith, popular
speaker and grief educator, guides others to respond with their
heart. He shows tangible, meaningful ways to make a significant
difference as one journeys through grief with someone they care
about.
When Lorraine Gibbard became a Christian, she could not imagine the
tumultuous journey that awaited her. A sudden onset of mental
illness shattered her successful life and left her feeling lost in
a foreign land. Clinging to her new-found faith, she set out on the
long journey of recovery. Growing daily in trust and dependence on
God, Lorraine began to see how compassionately Jesus viewed those
suffering mental distress. As she learnt about prayer and healing,
and the nature of God's Kingdom, she was inspired to set up the
Mental Health Fellowship. Supporting individuals and their carers
for thirteen years, the fellowship demonstrated how mental health
services and the church could work together to transform lives.
Join Lorraine in discovering Jesus' compassion towards the mentally
ill and learn how to offer practical and spiritual support.
Dr Kelly Brogan, New York Times bestselling author and holistic
psychiatrist, proposes an alternative to medicating mental,
emotional and physical pain away. '[Will] change how you approach
your health and mental wellbeing.' Sarah Gottfried, author of The
Hormone Cure. For years, we've been telling ourselves that our
difficult feelings - sadness, rage, shame, intensity, worry - are
somehow 'not okay'. All too often, we've relied on the promise of
pharmaceuticals to tamp them down. The fact is that these feelings
are a vital part of our experience. They are real. And those of us
who feel them most strongly are the canaries in the coal mine -
sensitive to things that are seriously wrong in the world today. In
a book that's both provocative and promising, holistic psychiatrist
Kelly Brogan MD shows us that we don't have to medicate our mental,
emotional and physical pain away - that the best way out is
through. Then she charts a new path to get real, get well and get
free. The journey includes: * Coming to a new appreciation of the
meaning behind symptoms * Exploring the 5 reversible physical
drivers of so-called mental illness * Starting a process of radical
physical healing with inclusive details of Dr Brogan's
history-making 30-day protocol * Taking a deeper dive into the
spiritual awakening and expansion that comes when you reclaim your
real self from conventional medicine Our experiences, Dr Brogan
argues, aren't problems or pathologies; they reflect what we need
to accept, acknowledge and transform in order to truly become who
we are. Own Your Self is a journey of healing and coming home to
ourselves. 'Kelly Brogan engages us in a courageous conversation
about the epidemic of mental health issues in our society. Her work
is an important part of the understanding that will set us free.'

to Love
"People faced with cancer take life seriously - very seriously.
They want answers; they need to know what works. I know the
feeling. For over twenty years now I have sat in groups with
thousands of others going through cancer. Between us we have tried
many things. We have worked out what works. My job has been to
collect these experiences." A revolutionary book when first
published in 1984, You Can Conquer Cancer has sold more than
250,000 copies worldwide and it's earlier editions have been

of the mind, meditation, family, social support and the spiritual
dimension of life. This new edition contains important additional
material, as well as whole new sections of updated information. The
book highlights the difference between "positive thinking" and
"wishful thinking", shares stories of remarkable survivors of
cancer along with an extensive chapter on the theme of "good death"
and dedicates whole chapters to the subject of nutrition,
explaining how it can affect - for the better - entire families.

You Can Conquer Cancer enlarges upon what is a truly integrated,
holistic approach to cancer.
Hoekom is ek so, wat is fout met my? Ek kan nie regtig met iemand hieroor praat nie. Ek sien nie kans vir die verwerping, spot en veroordeling nie. Wanneer my ouers, vriende en familie dit uitvind, hoe gaan hulle reageer? Wat dink God van alles, waar pas Hy in? Hoekom straf Hy my so? Ek bly liewers stil en leef ’n lewe van leuens.
Hierdie is 'n moet-lees boek vir:
- Die wat anti-gay is (ouers, familie, vriende, kerkleiers) en nie besef watter bloedspoor gelos word deur die misbruik van die Skrifte, mites en ongevoelige uitsprake teenoor gay mense nie.
- Die gelowige gay mens wat met sy of haar seksualiteit sukkel en hopelik aangespoor sal word om hulleself te aanvaar.
- Die pro-gay mense (ouers, familie, vriende, kerkleiers) wat swaar dra in die proses om die gay mens te beskerm.
In 2001 verander Erika Murray-Theron se lewe onherroeplik toe haar man, Tom, met parkinsonsiekte gediagnoseer word.
Erika begin haar vertelling eers in 2011, toe Tom in ’n meer gevorderde stadium van die siekte verkeer. Dit is die rou optekening van saamleef met ’n geliefde met parkinsons: die ervaring om die fisieke en intellektuele aftakeling van jou lewensmaat te aanskou, die fisieke eise wat met die versorging van so iemand gepaard gaan, en die emosionele inspanning wat dit kos om jouself te staal teen dramatiese en stadige verlies.
This book is designed to help people make an informed and balanced
decision on how to best care for their loved ones when they are
ageing or dealing with dementia. It examines the benefits and
drawbacks of the various care options available and compares them
according to the needs of each individual. It also provides
detailed practical advice on how to make a home a suitable and safe
place to live. Through check-lists and questionnaires, this book
answers some of the important questions that arise when assessing a
person's need for care and ease some of the guilt that might be
associated with making those decisions.
