The In Between

By Erica Staab

The In-between is a concept that we all have experience with, but not a lot has been written about. The moments in-between the pain or trauma when the wound is no longer throbbing, but yet is still so tender to the touch, that time when the scar hasn't yet formed to protect the tenderness beneath. It is something that can be applicable to death of a loved one, or the deaths of dreams, slights, hurts at the hand of another, the derailment of what we had planned, the cumulative losses we experience over the course of our lives.I wanted to be able to write a book that offers hope, that offers the acknowledgement of where you are at, reminds you of where you would like to be, and offers the faith to get you there. It isn't about a quick fix, or a pat on the shoulder, it is an acknowledgement of the process and time that healing takes as well as the need for support during the journey.This book is for anyone who is in the mist of their own "In-Between", when life is a little much and you could use a cheering section. A book for those moments when you need to be reminded you aren't alone.It is intended to be a Gift Book to share with others, for those occasions when your heart is full but you can't find the words and you would like to offer someone a tangible piece of support.A book to help remind you that where you are is exactly where you need to be, a reminder that healing takes time, that love will find a way, and that hope wins out one healing moment at a time. It is also a book for those moments when those words sound hollow and empty. This gift is intended to meet you wherever you are at in your In-Between.This book was born as an extension of a letter I wrote to a friend who was struggling with how to move on in the midst of a divorce that left him with more questions than answers. When people kept asking for a copy of what I had written to share with others who were in the midst of various stages of loss, grief and growth I knew I had to do something more substantial with it.After experiencing my own in-between of having a marriage end, leaving a job I loved, moving across the country, losing my only brother suddenly in a tragic accident within a matter of months, the words I wrote to my friend were from the heart, the letter I wish I would have held in the midst of those dark nights.This book is that letter addressed to you. I hope that it will be a comfort, a moment of peace in the midst of chaos, a hand to hold in the darkness. From my heart to yours.
