Recapturing the Joy is a self-directed journal designed specifically for all the bereaved parents of the world. I chose to write this book, after having been thrust into the role of bereaved parent in 1984 and reaching a successful conclusion to my own grief journey over 20 years later. When one of our children dies, we not only lose them but we are also robbed of our joy of life. Recapturing the Joy is a resource to help the bereaved re-create their life in such a way that they are able to revive that joy and experience, once again, the restoration of happiness which no longer comes so easily. This is not a cathartic endeavor as I had already recaptured my joy of life before authoring this resource. I replicated my process of success for others to follow, should they wish to do so. The format of the book and journaling exercises included are designed in a non-subjective and dignified manner which make it easy for the user to connect. It is a heart-to-heart resource. If you are not a bereaved parent, I am sure you know one who is one. The number of bereaved parents in the world grows daily and it will always be that way. The grief journey of a bereaved parent is a painfully difficult and quite often, a lengthy process. Once completed to a successful conclusion; however, it is a declaration of who you are. When gifted to a bereaved parent, a win-win for both the gifter and the recipient has been activated. Much love DeborahAbout the Author: Hi Everyone! My name is Deborah Anthony and I am from Beaver Bank, NS, Canada. I am someone who loves life, lives to love and laugh, and approaches everything and everyone I attach myself to unconditionally and with faith and trust. I do so with the intent that such will be for as long as it is supposed to last. I was born into a loving middle-class family in Halifax, NS. I am a polio survivor from a very young age. After age 2, the next 13 years were spent either in a hospital operating room, on the sofa at home, or at physio. I was afforded the opportunity and gift to view life in the outside world from a distance before I was able to step into it full tilt and that experience provided valuable insights into life that most do not acquire until much later in life. I was lucky. I began working at the tender age of 17 in a public service capacity for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a career I loved and which lasted for 11 years until I became a Mom. Future careers would turn out to be in administration, marketing and promotions roles within the retail and health and wellness industries. I married in 1973 and became a Mom in 1978, 1980, 1988, and 1989. I have been very blessed. I became a bereaved Mom in 1984, a single Mom in 2002, a healed bereaved Mom in 2004, and in 2006 started writing and authored a book for bereaved parents. Recapturing the Joy A Journal for Bereaved Parents. A starting point for bereaved parents to work toward recapturing their joy of life which is stolen when a child dies. My goal is to create a Recapturing the Joy book series and installment two "Bridging the Grief Gap" for both grievers and non-grievers has recently been published. Currently, the "Pearls of Wisdom" installment is in the works. In 2013 I completed a contributing author piece for a book to be released soon by another Nova Scotia writer. I felt honored to participate in this endeavor. My personal joy is derived from working with other bereaved parents in aiding them to re-learn how to live the joy of sorrow. Many speaking engagements have come my way, my days are filled with connections from around the world, and I absolutely love working in this safe environment I have created where joy and sorrow easily, comfortably, and lovingly keep company. Much love Deborah
