A Shadow's Cry A Collected Omnibus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781773564357)

An updated and revised version of the original four volumes in this work.

Many people throughout the world have had to deal with mental health issues and have had to hear from family and friends advice on one extreme or the other about "you just need to be happy," to, "you should be on medication." Unfortunately, while good intentioned, many of these self-proclaimed professionals should not be making such a diagnosis. With the prevalence of online wiki articles, many have assumed they are experts when they are not.

While this collection of poems in no way tries to solve that problem, what it does do is give a voice of comfort for those that are struggling to find hope in God and that there are others out there that do understand what is happening to you. Many people that are going from one extreme or the other are really just getting advice they are giving back to you again from people that are not qualified to do so. There needs to be a middle ground where we can all realize that while yes, there are emotional issues that cannot be solved with medication, but there are others that do have physical imbalances that do need to be treated.

While any reader deals with such issues and trying to figure out for themselves how to approach them, take this massive, collected volume for comfort. There are others that do know what you are suffering with and how others are treating you for something you may not be able to control.

Also included are two fictional poetry collections that may help you to smile and just have fun for a few pages. Rest assured that in all these struggles: you are not alone.
