Grief Survivor: A Love Story

By Marla Kane Polk

Book Overview

Marla Kane Polk's "Grief Survivor" is a love story, and this love story is real. But like most true stories, it is messy and sad and funny and, ultimately, it's a commentary on how to help those in deep grief. This book will help you help yourself, if you have lost someone you love. When darkness closes in completely, this book offers a lighted path.

"Grief Survivor" is a memoir of the fifteen months after the loss of my beloved spouse after our twenty-seven years together. My book takes you through the physical, spiritual, and emotional challenges of such a devastating loss in a detailed and deeply authentic story. It will help you rethink grief in the Western world and provide great insight into how to better help those in your life who are hurting.

This is the story of a life being rebuilt. Brutally honest with flashes of dark comedy, this daring look at grief was written to encourage you and to prove, if I can survive, so can you. If you, too, are on this terrible road, wondering how to draw the next breath, you could not hope for a better companion than "Grief Survivor."
