A Journal of Healing: A guided walk through the maze of grief and depression when love is lost (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781628572063)

This heartfelt book takes readers on a journey through the chaotic and traumatic existence of a widow, as she tries to cope with the challenges and changes that occur as a result of the death of her husband. She battles to maintain balance and stability in her home, but the greater battle is in the recesses of her mind, where pain and grief are real and personal. No cosmetics can hide the tears that flow under the cover of darkness. Finally, the book is about her emergence and metamorphosis into someone with a changed philosophy of life and existence. Written by a woman who has Loved and Lost, it is ultimately about healing, acceptance, and metamorphosis. "I only found peace after I wrote my thoughts on paper. That is when the journey began." Carlene Hall-Sylvan is a teacher in Trinidad. This is her first book, which was motivated by "feelings of helplessness and doubt as I moved from one hurdle to the other. I understand the meaning of 'the domino effect' now, and I have learnt that the only way to stop it is to lean on a force that is stronger than you are."
