Book Description
While on their honeymoon in the Soviet Union, Fred Yocum and his wife Caroline decided to concentrate on seeing the United States. Eventually all members of the family (and one Cabbage Patch doll as well) were in all fifty states, Fred was in every city with a population of 37,500 or more and in every county in the US. The most unusual aspect in raising their family was the fact that their only son, Stephen, had multiple disabilities but also a winsome personality and a desire to savor life. He was both a delight and a challenge to the time of his death on March 26, 1999, at the age of 27. With their children (and the Cabbage Patch doll) in tow, they go about their expansive trip with gusto. Along the way they stop at Major League Baseball parks to watch the professionals play out Fred and his son's favorite sport. With turns of happiness and tragedy abounding, Fred Yocum's Finer than a Frog's Hair Split Three Ways: Way One—Early Life, Family, Travels, and Baseball will have you laughing, crying, and relating with every page of his family's adventure.

Jewish Views of the Afterlife
Author: Simcha Paull RaphaelPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 153810346X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 529
Book Description
Originally published in 1994, Jewish Views of the Afterlife is a classic study of ideas of afterlife and postmortem survival in Jewish tradition and mysticism. As both a scholar and pastoral counselor, Raphael guides the reader through 4,000 years of Jewish thought on the afterlife by investigating pertinent sacred texts produced in each era. Through a compilation of ideas found in the Bible, Apocrypha, rabbinic literature, medieval philosophy, medieval Midrash, Kabbalah, Hasidism and Yiddish literature, the reader learns how Judaism conceived of the fate of the individual after death throughout Jewish history. In addition, this book explores the implications of Jewish afterlife beliefs for a renewed understanding of traditional rituals of funeral, burial, shiva, kaddish and more. This newly released twenty-fifth anniversary edition presents new material on little-known Jewish mystical teachings on reincarnation, a chapter on “Spirits, Ghosts and Dybbuks in Yiddish Literature”, and a foreword by the renowned scholar of Jewish mysticism, Rabbi Arthur Green. Both historical and contemporary, this book provides a rich resource for scholars and laypeople and for teachers and students and makes an important Jewish contribution to the growing contemporary psychology of death and dying.

Pages : 388
Book Description
First published in 1996. This new book gives voice to an emerging consensus among bereavement scholars that our understanding of the grief process needs to be expanded. The dominant 20th century model holds that the function of grief and mourning is to cut bonds with the deceased, thereby freeing the survivor to reinvest in new relationships in the present. Pathological grief has been defined in terms of holding on to the deceased. Close examination reveals that this model is based more on the cultural values of modernity than on any substantial data of what people actually do. Presenting data from several populations, 22 authors - among the most respected in their fields - demonstrate that the health resolution of grief enables one to maintain a continuing bond with the deceased. Despite cultural disapproval and lack of validation by professionals, survivors find places for the dead in their on-going lives and even in their communities. Such bonds are not denial: the deceased can provide resources for enriched functioning in the present. Chapters examine widows and widowers, bereaved children, parents and siblings, and a population previously excluded from bereavement research: adoptees and their birth parents. Bereavement in Japanese culture is also discussed, as are meanings and implications of this new model of grief. Opening new areas of research and scholarly dialogue, this work provides the basis for significant developments in clinical practice in the field.
