Grief is something my family has had many discussions about because of my sister's death, and I believe talking about grief helped me through Dad's death too. An important subject. I hope you do publish it someday. <br /><br /><br />Can't wait to read the fiction novel! I think I recall you once saying you couldn't imagine writing a novel and now you have - you've challenged yourself. Fantastic! <br /><br /><br />I'll always be a big fan of your writing, Kerri. xoxJodie AnstedHttp://www.jodieansted.blogspot.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-34166748828685756522014-12-03T08:08:50.599+11:002014-12-03T08:08:50.599+11:00Oh Kayley (Ranty McRanterson),

What can I say other than that I hear you, and I hope you manage to stumble through, taking one day at a time and knowing you need to grieve the way YOU need to grieve. And I hope you are getting some support, and not from those stupid unicorns.<br />With love,<br />K xxxKerri Sackvillehttp://www.lifeandothercrises.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-16327472134528374402014-12-02T01:52:59.032+11:002014-12-02T01:52:59.032+11:00Why are people so scared of publishing the tougher...Why are people so scared of publishing the tougher life truths?! I want a bloody book on grief written by someone with a relevant phD... in life! Someone who has been there and knows that I want to stab people in the eye (not really.... okay maybe a little) who look at me with pity or say 'you poor thing, how are you?' - how am I?? oh yeah I'm great, my dad just died in a cruel and degrading way, I'm handling it completely differently to my mother and brother and pretty much everyone else on top of supporting my husband who this massive life event has been a trigger for, but OMG I love rainbows and unicorns and cannot believe how truly blessed I am blah blah blah. <br />I will get to a point where I get through this grief and realise I am pretty fortunate but why can't they publish a book about that process? Grief is natural not something to pretend doesn't exist. Keep the book handy, the world will be ready some day. <br />Yours sincerely,<br />Ranty McRanterson xKayleyPoppetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-46746975374089751062014-11-23T11:22:24.168+11:002014-11-23T11:22:24.168+11:00I think people who don't want to read about gr...I think people who don't want to read about grief are people who have not experienced it, and a book about grief is not for these people.

I think its a shame that we all want the sugar coated version of life. Sometimes it has edges, sometimes it hurts, sometimes its just plain nasty and vile. But if we cant talk about it and share it we create a world where it is not even OK to grieve when things go bad. I would hazard a guess that lots of people would be interested in your book.

I also felt slightly outraged that the publishers wouldn't want a book about grief. Because grief is real and lots of people go through it (life, death, kind of goes with the territory,) never mind about reading it, people are living with it. I for one, would love to read your book, and think that there should be more books like this for people to read, real books, with real feelings and real truth. Good on you for being brave enough to write it, if only the publishers would be brave enough to publish it. Ranting aside, I hope they adore book number four xsammie@theannoyedthyroid.comhttp://www.theannoyedthyroid.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-10886409641567174102014-11-18T19:13:27.573+11:002014-11-18T19:13:27.573+11:00I would like to read your Grief book.
