Book Synopsis After We Said Goodbye by : Sean Davison
Download or read book After We Said Goodbye written by Sean Davison and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2012-11-28 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sean Davison made headlines when he was arrested in New Zealand for matricide. The story that emerged - how he helped his ailing mother to die - is the subject of his affecting book, Before We Say Goodbye. This second book, After We Said Goodbye, takes up the story from there: his arrest, trial and sentencing and the dramatic events that followed after this softspoken, unassuming man took the most fateful decision of his life; one that tore open family rifts and posed fundamental questions about life and his choices. With unwavering frankness, Davison faces his demons: Should he have done what he did? Ought he to have exposed his family? Was it the right thing to self-sensor the first edition of his book and conceal the fact that he had administered the morphine? And how should he come to terms with his sibling who had leaked the uncensored manuscript that lead to his arrest? It is estimated that huge numbers of people die through assisted suicide, and the author has become a vocal activist for the right to die in dignity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For ten days in March 1971, the Rolling Stones traveled by train and bus to play two shows a night in many of the small theaters and town halls where their careers began. No backstage passes. No security. No sound checks or rehearsals. And only one journalist allowed. That journalist now delivers a full-length account of this landmark event, which marked the end of the first chapter of the Stones' extraordinary career. Ain't It Time We Said Goodbye is also the story of two artists on the precipice of mega stardom, power, and destruction. For Mick and Keith, and all those who traveled with them, the farewell tour of England was the end of the innocence. Based on Robert Greenfield's first-hand account and new interviews with many of the key players, this is a vibrant, thrilling look at the way it once was for the Rolling Stones and their fans—and the way it would never be again.

Book excerpt: THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER What would you do with one last year? Susan Spencer-Wendel was determined to laugh instead of cry. In June 2011, Susan Spencer-Wendel learned she had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) - Lou Gehrig's disease - an irreversible condition that systematically destroys the nerves that power the muscles. She was 44-years-old, with three young children, and she had only one year of health remaining. She decided to live that year with joy. She left her job as a journalist and spent time with her family. She built a meeting place for friends in her backyard. And she took seven trips with the seven most important people in her life. As her health declined, Susan journeyed to the Yukon, Hungary, the Bahamas, and Cyprus. She went to the beach with her sons and to Kleinfeld's bridal shop in New York City with her teenage daughter, Marina, for a glimpse of the wedding she would never attend. She also wrote this book. No longer able to walk or even lift her arms, she tapped it out letter by letter on her iPhone using only her right thumb, the last finger still working. And yet Until I Say Good-Bye is not angry or bitter. It is sad in parts - how could it not be? - but it is filled with Susan's optimism, joie de vivre and sens of humour. It is a book that, like Susan, will make everyone smile. From a hilarious family Christmas disaster to the decrepit monastery in eastern Cyprus where she rediscovered her heritage, Until I Say Good-Bye is Susan Spencer-Wendel's unforgettable gift to her loved ones and to us: a record of their final experiences together and a reminder that every day is better when it is lived with joy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not since The 10th Good Thing About Barney or I'll Always Love You has there been such a peaceful and inspiring book to help children and adults cope with the loss of a pet. The talented multiple-medalist Jane Yolen takes on this difficult subject with her usual grace and poetic sensitivity, focusing not on the death as much as the life in the last day of an older cat named Tiger Rose. Tiger Rose's kitten days are long gone and she's grown too tired to stay, so she says her goodbyes to all the creatures and the joys of her natural world—from the scolding blue jay, to the dog and children she shares her home with, to a chipmunk, startled by her gentleness, to her favorite shady patch under a piney bush. In a final vision, Tiger Rose takes one last leap into the blue sky and becomes one with all—the earth, the air, the sun. . . . This is perhaps the most reassuring book on death available for children.

The love, the legacy and all the precious memories can live on for as long as you choose to nurture and enrich the world in their honor. Published by Project Proactive, this approach is transformative, especially the Parent''s Guide by Trauma Specialist, Esther Goldstein, LCSW. What the Experts Have to Say "Were this book only a fitting tribute to the endearing and vivacious Moussia Zaltzman, OBM, it would be well worth reading and sharing with our children. But beyond that, this book is a game changer. It models the delicate and sensitive process by which we express and share painful realities with ourselves and our children. Groundbreaking, commemorative and therapeutic, this book should be a part of every family and school library." - Dr. Norman N. Blumenthal Zachter Family Chair in Trauma and Crisis Response, OHEL Children''s Home and Family Services "What an amazing way to honor Moussia and to help anyone who is suffering loss, with hope, honesty and the promise of ongoing life." -Dr. Marta Durski, D.Min, RP, RMFT "This book is a masterful guide to dealing with loss. Written by Rebecca Shapiro in Moussia''s voice, we are given a model of how authenticity, honesty, and openness provide a template for keeping a lost relative or friend alive when they are no longer physically present. Grounded in an integration of mental health expertise and faith-based wisdom, the authors share practical guidelines on helping children and families confront loss in an honest and psychologically informed manner. I strongly recommend this book for anybody confronting the challenges brought by life''s inevitable losses." - David Pelcovitz, Ph.D. Straus Chair in Psychology and Education, Azrieli Graduate School, New York "This book will help people of all ages come to terms with grief and loss. Unique in its perspective, "It''s Not Over When We Say Goodbye" addresses the cognitive, emotional and spiritual needs of those who have gone, are going, or will go through the experience of losing a loved one - that is to say, all of us. The story of a little girl''s sudden death is used to show readers how the unbreakable bond of love unites this world and the next, providing deep comfort and solace to the human heart. Although far from a typical "bedtime story," "It''s Not Over When We Say Goodbye" should be read to, and discussed, with every child, as its impactful message will provide enduring support for life''s journey." - Sarah Chana Radcliffe, M.ED.,C.PSYCH Psychologist, lecturer and author of multiple best sellers, including "The Fear Fix" "Western culture''s unrelenting focus on joy and happiness ironically, and insidiously, increases our vulnerability to emotional distress. By contrast, Judaism teaches us how to live with joys and pains, successes and failures, happiness and sadness, and all points in between. This poignant book is a critical resource for parents in supporting children through grief and loss. Its approach is simple, its wisdom immense, and its author has done a great service by making it available to our community." - David H. Rosmarin, PhD Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, and Founder of Center for Anxiety (New York) "Moussia''s book is a beautiful gift to parents and community members to help initiate, guide and support the sensitive but necessary conversations we need to have with our kids. I am honored to be a part of Project Proactive''s mission to develop critical and current, transformative resources for our community." - Rachel Tuchman, LMHC Clinical Advisor, Project Proactive

Book excerpt: From legendary singer/songwriter Steve Earle comes the fascinating memoir he swore he'd never write. I CAN'T REMEMBER IF WE SAID GOODBYE Steve Earle's entirely self-written memoir is a literary work in three acts. It opens with Steve dropping out of school and quitting a construction job, and meeting the troubled, genius musician Townes Van Zandt, with whom he embarks on a very complicated lifelong friendship. Steve's memoir will delve deeply into his heroes and what they meant to him, from Guy Clark and Willie and Waylon, to Steve's uncle who gave him his first guitar as well as his first shot of dope. It will take readers into the heart of the singular, dynamic and fascinating Texas music scene in the 60s and 70s, through the pain and desperation of Steve's drug addiction and, finally, to the grace of recovery through the Twelve Steps. Unlike many musicians penning memoirs, Earle is a genuine and talented writer who has authored a collection of short stories and a beautiful, haunting novel. This book, the one his fans want, brings that same lyrical prose to Steve's own incredible life, from the exhilarating highs to the crushing lows and back again--showing that recovery is possible for even the hardest of cases.
