uplifting practical guide to understanding grief and healing from it.


The Hole in Your Life: Grief and Bereavement

by Dr. Bob Rich, PhD

Genre: Nonfiction, Inspirational Self-Help


The Hole in Your Life by Dr. Bob Rich is a heartfelt, practical guide to understanding grief and healing from it. Rooted in personal experience-most notably the loss of his daughter, Natalie-and decades of psychological counseling, Dr. Rich offers readers compassionate tools for navigating bereavement. Drawing on real-life case studies, mindfulness techniques, and the "seven magic bullets" for wellbeing, he explores the complexities of grief, from anticipatory sorrow to finding meaning and renewal. Blending storytelling, humor, and therapeutic insight, this book serves as both a comfort and a roadmap for anyone experiencing loss, emphasizing that while grief is unique and unpredictable, growth and peace are possible.

 

"Thank you for asking me to read The Hole in Your Life. Its insights will help countless people struggling with loss. I recently lost my youngest sister, and it was a blessing to read your thoughts on the paths I can take toward remembering her in healthy ways." -- Georgiann Baldino, author of A Family and Nation under Fire, and other books

"Dr Bob Rich's The Hole in Your Life is written from the heart. It shares his personal experience and many case studies with his clients, making research-based recommendations on how to process grief in a very readable and easy-to-apply manner." -- Dr David Morawetz, counselling psychologist, grief counsellor, and founder and director, Social Justice Fund

"Grief is something that touches everyone's life at some point or another, so it only makes sense to empower ourselves with the tools to cope-and who better to learn from than Dr. Bob Rich, a psychologist with decades of experience helping patients overcome a wide variety of life's problems, including of course, grief." -- I. C. Robledo, a bestselling author and editor in self-development.

"The Hole in Your Life is a good toolbox for coping with grief and I agree with all of it. Among the points that resonated with me most deeply are these ideas: grief is part of our life experience, so let's not be afraid of it; it is easier to recover from grief if you grieve before the person dies and suffer with them; and, that only way to learn from loss with meaning is through suffering, as long as it is not self-inflicted." -- Alfredo Zotti, author of Music Therapy: An Introduction with case studies for mental illness recovery.

An all-new steamy and angsty Forbidden Single Dad Ice Hockey Romance from the USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Tracy Lorraine.

Kodie Rivers. 

Hockey god.  

Single dad.  

 

And thanks to my father—his coach—he’s completely off-limits.  

But that only makes him more irresistible. 

 

I know better than to think there’s a future with a man like him. His priorities are clear: his daughter and his career. No room for complications. No space for me.

 

But after years of watching him from the sidelines, I’m done just looking. I want one night. One little taste to quiet the wild fantasies about the man I can’t have.  

 

When my dad’s ticket to the LA Vipers’ annual charity masquerade falls at my feet, I know I should put it back. But the mask gives me the courage to be someone else for one night. 

Someone bold enough to go after what she wants.

 

And I want him. 

One night. No names. No consequences.

 

But will it be enough, or will it only add more gasoline to my already out-of-control obsession?


Dear reader,
Breaking the Pucking Rules is a standalone age-gap, single dad, coach's daughter, forbidden romance set in the LA Vipers world

I Could Be Yours by Helena Hunting #REVIEW

I Could Be Yours

BLURB:

The best man ghosted me six years ago after kissing me, and now I have to plan every wedding event under the sun with him.

Nate Stiles is the definition of serious.
Furrowed brow? Check.
Rain cloud personality? Double check.

I shouldn’t be thinking about the fact that our kiss was the best one of my life right now. I should be planning the bachelorette party of the millennium.

I shouldn’t be wondering when Nate became such a good dancer after we got roped into salsa lessons with the happy couple. I should be mentally ticking off boxes on my bridal checklists.

I shouldn’t be wondering what it would be like if I didn’t hate Nate Stiles. I should be holding strong against a man who doesn’t believe in love.

My name is Essie Lovelock. I am a reformed love obsessed fairytale fanatic and I’m determined to be the best maid of honor my best friend could ever have.

And I am absolutely not going to fall for the best man.
standalone grumpy/sunshine, second chance romance.


REVIEW: 5* Perfection 🙌🏻


Trix and Tristan are getting married and we’re invited through the eyes of Beatrix’s best friend, Essie and Tristan’s brother Nate.

Nate ghosted Essie six years ago after they shared a kiss. Ever since there has been a strange vibe between them. He’s grumpy and she’s a ray of sunshine. Now they’re thrown back together for a beautiful wedding and love is all around! Nate’s struggling to hold on to his grumpy hat and Essie is just so loveable she’s hard to resist.

This is kind of an extension of the Toronto Terror (ice hockey) series although Nate is a science nerd and Essie is a makeup artist rather than a hockey romance.

Essie is helping Trix with the wedding/hen party and Nate is doing the same for the stag party. They are in competition with each other but Nate has met his match because Essie is Queen at organising.

Can Nate work through his past and realise the one that got away is more than a kiss?

This book was everything. It was funny, sweet and swoony with some hotness to warm the sheets. Nate really proved himself worthy of Essie.
