My Life Closed Twice

Más información sobre el libro

My Life Closed Twice is a new non-fiction work of great depth and emotion chronicling the life of one woman following the deaths of her husband and son within 24 hours. This inspirational story, suffused with hope and humor, says something new about multiple loss. It will appeal to readers who are not bereaved but wonder how an ordinary person survives extraordinary tragedy??without drugs, psychiatry or a nervous breakdown. Interweaving episodes from her past??growing up in a factory town in New England, being a working mother when such a role was highly unpopular, counseling hundreds of people whose jobs were "downsized," Schocket speaks to people who must build new lives not just in response to death but after divorce, illness, loss of job or home.
