Book Description
A modern-day fable that's so funny you'll laugh your head off! What would you do if your daddy lost his head? You'd make him a new one of course! All you need is some old newspapers, paint and a potato for his ose. It turns out there are lots of advantages to having a dad with no head: he doesn't shout or snore, he always agrees with you, and he loves doing the hoovering. But will Daddy ever find his real head?

Book Description
Grieving Dads: To the Brink and Back is a collection of candid stories from grieving dads that were interviewed over a two year period. The book offers insight from fellow members of, in the haunting words of one dad, "this terrible, terrible club," which consists of men who have experienced the death of a child. This book is a collection of survival stories by men who have survived the worst possible loss and lived to tell the tale. They are real stories that pull no punches and are told with brutal honesty. Men that have shared their deepest and darkest moments. Moments that included thoughts of suicide, self-medication and homelessness. Some of these men have found their way back from the brink while others are still standing there, stuck in their pain. The core message of Grieving Dads is "you're not alone." It is a message that desperately needs to be delivered to grieving dads who often grieve in silence due to society's expectations. Grieving Dads: To the Brink and Back is a book that no grieving dad or anyone who cares for him should be without. As any grieving parent will tell you, there are no words to describe the hell one experiences after the death of a child. Many men have no clue how to deal with or understand the myriad emotional, mental, and physical responses experienced after the death of a child. Stories appearing in the book have been carefully selected to represent a cross-section of fathers, as well as a diverse portrayal of loss. This approach helps reflect the full spectrum of grief, from the early days of shock and trauma to the long view after living with loss for many years. Any bereaved father will find brotherhood in these pages, and will feel that someone understands them. While there is plenty of raw emotion in this book-the stories are not exercises in self-pity nor are they studies in grief. They are survival stories instead. Some are testimonies to hope. Some are gut-wrenching accounts of overwhelming despair. But all of them are real-life stories from real-life grieving dads, and they show that even if one reaches his physical and emotional bottom, it is possible (although not easy) to live through that pain and find one's way to the other side of grief. Most dads in this book found themselves in a state of physical, mental, and emotional collapse after the death of their child. As if the losses alone weren't enough to drive these men to the brink, most try to deal with their grief according to the conventional wisdom so many men are brought up with, which perversely, increases their suffering all the more. We all know the party line about how men are "supposed" to deal with loss or even disappointment: toughen up, get back to work, take it like a man, support your wife, don't talk about your emotions, don't lose control, and if you must cry-by all means do so in private.

This honest, sensitive and beautifully illustrated picture book is designed to help explain the concept of death to children aged 3+. Written in Alex's own words, it is based on the real-life conversations that Elke Barber had with her then three-year-old son, Alex, after the sudden death of his father. The book provides reassurance and understanding to readers through clear and honest answers to the difficult questions that can follow the death of a loved one, and carries the invaluable message that it is okay to be sad, but it is okay to be happy, too.

Book Description
For years I have carried the guilt of my grandfathers death. If I had told Momma, Daddy, Nana or even Papa himself about the shadow that I was seeing around him or the bad that I felt coming from him that night when I touched him. Then maybe Papa would have lived. When I first began to have the Premonitions of Matt’s death and when I realized that it was the same as what I saw and felt with Papa that night it scared me more than anything has since Papa left. The weekend that this all began I really thought it was my punishment for letting Papa die I thought that I was in some kind of Purgatory. Now Purgatory or even Hell would seem like a picnic in a park. With all Matt and I have been through in these months trying to stay together, Matt is the love of my life, my soul mate, my angelic prince; he’s my breathe, my oxygen and my every heartbeat, but I sit here waiting to become a fifteen year old widow, though our parents have never acknowledged our marriage. If I don’t fight my fears of Daddy’s reaction and do what the voices have told me and the dreams have shown me then Matt will die violently and painfully. If Matt dies it is my fault just as it was with Papa.
