Signalman Publishing is pleased to announce the release in paperback and as an ebook for the Amazon Kindle, the Barnes & Noble nook, and the Apple iBookstore of 'Without Warning: My Personal Journal of Struggling with Grief' by Jeanie Kaiser of Cumberland, Maryland. On June 20, 2005, Jeanie Kaiser heard the words from a doctor that no one wants to hear: 'Bad news, he didn't make it...' After 45 years of marriage, her husband, Bob, who had been in good health, suffered a mild heart attack. This required a heart catheterization and Bob unexpectedly died following the procedure. Amidst the intense grief, there was confusion, anger and questioning God: - Why did you allow this to happen to someone who took such good care of himself? - How am I going to survive this new life without my partner, his touch, his conversation, his companionship? - Will I ever feel normal again? - Was there something I could have done differently? At the suggestion of her sister-in-law, Jeanie writes down her feelings, experiences, and interactions in a very personal journal that is presented here. The hope is that 'Without Warning: My Personal Journal of Struggling with Grief' will be a comfort and source of encouragement to others as they work through their own period of loss and grief. John McClure, president of Signalman Publishing, stated, 'It was an honor to work with Jeanie in publishing this book which will help many others who find themselves suddenly confronted with the loss of a spouse. Jeanie writes very candidly about her struggles, fears and questions and discusses what sustained her through those difficult times.' Without Warning (ISBN: 978-1-940145-05-1, Trade Paper, 96 pages, $11.99, Religion/ Christian Life / Death, Grief, Bereavement) from indie book publisher Signalman, is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble.com and wherever fine books are sold.
