My Heart Has No Home: A Journal of Grief and Healing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781939698070)

My Heart Has No Home provides a moment-by-moment account of my grief after my wife Amy died suddenly at age 50. What started as short, directionless posts - driven by the simple thought that I wanted to share what it's really like to lose a loved one - turned into a Facebook blog. My posts came to encompass the specific ways grief was hitting me in the moment, as well as what I was learning and how I was healing. In all of it, I tried to be as honest as I could, including my pain and flaws as well as Amy's, and how those interacted in our marriage.

The response from my friends and family blew me away. These are only some of the original responses that led me to write this book.

- helped me in ways I didn't know I needed (Simone)
- impressed with the vulnerability (Jennie)
- helped me in many ways with the loss of my mom (Danita)
- amazed and grateful (Lynn)
- helps me a lot coming to terms with death (Katja)
- rare to see such a raw exploration done with this kind of depth and skillful expression (Mark)
- positive and real (Starley)

From the publisher: Definitely worth a read, My Heart Has No Home displays modern masculinity at its best, offering a shining example of friendship and connection, community, and mutual support. Inspiring, vulnerable, truthful, sad, and joyful-don't miss it!
