    The unexpected death of a loved one is a traumatic, life-altering experience. If you've experienced a sudden loss, your life becomes instantly unrecognizable. In addition to the overwhelming shock, pain, sadness, and grief, you may now feel unsafe in the world, out of control, or unable to carry out basic daily tasks.

This gentle workbook can help guide you toward a place of healing and solace. 
     
     
     
    The Traumatic Loss Workbook offers an integrative approach drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotional regulation skills, mindfulness techniques, and narrative therapy to support you through the grief process, so you can move forward after the sudden or unexpected death of a loved one. You'll also discover strategies for dealing with sudden "grief attacks," and learn how to navigate common emotional triggers such as holidays, birthdays, or anniversaries. Finally, you'll discover skills to help you cope with the deeply emotional and traumatic aspects of your grief—now and in the future.

    The Letters of Mark Twain

    These letters were arranged in two volumes by Albert Bigelow Paine, Samuel L. Clemens's literary executor, as a supplement to Mark Twain, A Biography, which Paine wrote. They are, for the most part, every letter written by Clemens known to exist at the time of their publication in 1917. They begin with a fragment of a letter from teenaged Sam Clemens to his sister, Pamela, and conclude with a letter to his attorney two weeks before his death. 
     
    These letters give us some degree of insight into the evolution of Twain's style of speech and prose over the period of his lifetime; they are a small window into the psyche that created the various characters of his stories. 
     
    But they also reveal the tragedies of his life: the lack of success in his business ventures, and the passing of his family. And as I read each one in this collection, I can almost detect the faint odor of one of his “devilish” cigars wafting across the room. 
     
    Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. He was praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced", and William Faulkner called him "the father of American literature".

    First Nation - History and Facts...

    The following 3 books are contained in this audiobook: 
    1: The Inuit (consisting of Alaskan Iupiat, Greenlandic Inuit, and Canadian Inuit) and the Yupik (or Yuit) of eastern Siberia and Alaska are described as Eskimo or Eskimos. The Aleut, who live on the Aleutian Islands, are a comparable 3rd group that's usually omitted from the categorization of Eskimo. The 3 groups have a current typical forefather and speak Eskimo-- Aleut languages, which relate. 
    The development of Europeans marks the start of Alaskan Indians' contemporary history. Russians cruising from Siberia in the eighteenth century were the first to make contact, which was uncommon for The USA and Canada. Traders from the east, mainly from The U.S.A. and Canada's eastern towns, didn't come in the area till the 19th century. Christian missionaries were not active in Alaska till the 20th century in some circumstances. 
    2: The Pawnee are a Central Plains Indian people that used to live in Nebraska and Kansas, yet now call Oklahoma home. They are now called the Pawnee Country of Oklahoma, and its head offices are at Pawnee, Oklahoma. Their Pawnee language belongs to the Caddoan family, and they're called Chatiks si chatiks, or "Men of Men." 
    The Pawnee used to live in earth lodge towns near the Loup, Republican Politician, and South Platte rivers. Throughout the year, the Pawnee people economy turned between producing crops and buffalo searching. 
    3: The Sioux, also called the Oceti Sakowin are a North American people of Native American tribe and First Countries tribes. The contemporary Sioux are split into 2 significant groups based upon language: Dakota and Lakota; they're called together as the Ohéthi akówi ("7 Council Fires"). The term "Sioux" is an exonym stemmed from a French transliteration of the Ojibwe term "Nadouessioux," and can apply to any ethnic group or language dialect within the Great Sioux Country.
