Dallas, TX (Vocus/PRWEB ) November 16, 2009 -- A new book offers to help people cope with grief this holiday season. 'Stormy Waters: From the Darkness of Grief to the Light of Hope' by Rosalie Stolinski Siciliano deals with the questions:“Do we ever truly get over the loss of a loved one? Does the passing of time heal pain? How we deal and cope with loss varies. For some, it’s sharing fond memories with close friends and family. Others may require grief counseling, and then there are those who find solace in writing.
Stormy Waters: From the Darkness of Grief to the Light of Hope by Rosalie Stolinski Siciliano
For Rosalie Stolinski Siciliano, it came in the art form of poetry. Devastated by the unexpected passing of her beloved husband of forty-one years, Edward Stolinski, Jr., she found herself grasping for words to fully express her grief. Only when she took pen to paper did she fully begin the road to recovery. Her writing took shape in 'Stormy Waters: From the Darkness of Grief to the Light of Hope' (Brown Books 2009). The book is an intimate look at the grieving process through a combination of narrative text, poetry, photographs and illustrations.
“The narrative and poetry were more or less a song of mourning – each melody came to me at different times, never thinking anyone would read or see what I wrote. When I think back on this period, I was reaching deep inside and letting it all out. I floundered, screamed and cried, and those aches and noises brought a sense of rhythm that serenaded my despair,” says Siciliano.
Stormy Waters reveals the depths of misery from grief and leaves the reader with compassion for others and practical means for coping and learning to live again. Ms. Siciliano explores an indefinable period of life during which both body and spirit are overwhelmed. Turning pain into purpose, she has found a way to help others navigate the waters of intense grief, eventually finding hope and solace. Life must go on.
Ms. Siciliano lives in Little Egg Harbor, NJ, with her husband of five years Tom, also a widower. Stormy Waters is available online and at bookstores everywhere. For further information visit: www.stormywatersbook.com.
