MEADVILLE, Pa., Sept. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Ashlyn's Journal": an intense portrait of a father's grief over a lost child. "Ashlyn's Journal" is the creation of published author Andrew Yackuboskey, a married father of four from Pennsylvania who enjoys film, fishing, and family.
Yackuboskey shares, "I'll kill someone if I go back. I won't be able to hold my tongue or my fist. Not after what I've been through.
Obviously, I'm not going to let my family starve… or lose the roof over our heads. But after this horrible tragedy, it's really opened my eyes, life is short and I can do anything. There's nothing to fear. Not after what we've gone through. I laugh in the face of death.
I've been to worst places now. There are no breaks (for us) only suffering.
When I forget the 'feeling' of her, that'll be another deathblow to me. It will be like losing her all over again. I hope that day does not come soon.
When the routine of life reaches me that will be another gut shot as well. It will be like closing one chapter in my life that I desperately want to keep open in the hopes that she'll return like this has been just a horrible nightmare, I'll wake up one day and starting a whole new chapter without her and realizing she's gone because she's not in it (and she's never coming back) that'll be like losing her all over again too."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Andrew Yackuboskey's new book is a raw, hard-hitting flow of thoughts that doesn't hold back, a cathartic explosion drawing a deeply human portrait of suffering and the glimmers of healing that persist through it all.
Anyone who has ever lost a loved one will not only sympathize with the author's deep well of pain; they will be strengthened and encouraged, rooting for this mourning dad, and perhaps even finding the commiseration they need to know they're not alone when processing their own grief.
