Society often questions and ridicules the pace and depth at which we grieve a loss, but especially the loss of a pet. The same pointed questions and hollow phrases are repeated over again, which ultimately create more pain and social withdrawal as we fall short of their expectations. But there are others who understand that losing a pet is one of the most devastating experiences while the process of mourning has no timeframe. The first step to healing is understanding grief is unique, personal, and necessary. Through emotional validation and shared insight of others who've experienced similar circumstances, there is a community of compassion. Grief may not have a roadmap, but there is hope through the trauma and pain. Our Stars Still Shine is a collection of heartfelt memoirs from 22 different authors, written in their own words. From across the world, their stories connect them through shared experiences of deep love, pain, and finding life after loss. Read their stories as they recount some of the happiest and most painful moments of being a pet parent.Ver livro
A military biography of the American soldier and statesman who managed the WWII Lend-Lease program and acted as governor of postwar Germany.During World War II, President Roosevelt called upon Lucius D. Clay to run military procurement. It took a man of his logistical genius to oversee the requirements of an eight-million-man army. Clay set priorities, negotiated contracts, monitored production, and coordinated military Lend-Lease—all without a breath of scandal.In 1945, Clay was called upon once again to act as military governor of a decimated Germany. He dealt with everything from de-Nazification to quarrelsome allies, from feeding a starving people to processing vast numbers of homeless and displaced. Above all, he had to convince a doubting American public and a hostile State Department that German recovery was essential to the stability of Europe.Clay went on to play key roles in business and politics, advising presidents of both parties. He helped run Eisenhower's 1952 campaign, led the federal highway program, raised the ransom money for the Bay of Pigs prisoners, and boosted morale in Germany as the Berlin Wall was built. In honor of their debt to him, the Berliners placed a simple stone tablet at his West Point grave: Wir Danken Dem Bewahrer Unserer Freiheit—We Thank the Defender of Our Freedom.Ver livro
