  Bearing the Unbearable is a Foreword INDIES Award-Winner — Gold Medal for Self-Help. 
  When a loved one dies, the pain of loss can feel unbearable—especially in the case of a traumatizing death that leaves us shouting, “NO!” with every fiber of our body. The process of grieving can feel wild and nonlinear—and often lasts for much longer than other people, the nonbereaved, tell us it should. 
  Organized into fifty-two short chapters, Bearing the Unbearable is a companion for life’s most difficult times, revealing how grief can open our hearts to connection, compassion, and the very essence of our shared humanity. Dr. Joanne Cacciatore—bereavement educator, researcher, Zen priest, and leading counselor in the field—accompanies us along the heartbreaking path of love, loss, and grief. Through moving stories of her encounters with grief over decades of supporting individuals, families, and communities—as well as her own experience with loss—Cacciatore opens a space to process, integrate, and deeply honor our grief. 
  Not just for the bereaved, Bearing the Unbearable will be required reading for grief counselors, therapists and social workers, clergy of all varieties, educators, academics, and medical professionals. Organized into fifty-two accessible and stand-alone chapters, this book is also perfect for being read aloud in support groups.

  'I FELT RECOGNISED ON EVERY PAGE, LEARNT SO MANY NEW THINGS, AND LAUGHED SO HARD I CHOKED ON MY WATER. READ THIS!!!' NAOISE DOLAN, AUTHOR OF EXCITING TIMES
  
  'CANDID, WITTY ... A BRAVE BOOK THAT PUTS VULNERABILITY FULLY ON SHOW'  INDEPENDENT
  
  
  Obsessive was, still is, my natural state, and I never wondered why. I didn't mind, didn't know that other people could feel at peace. I always felt like a raw nerve, but then, I thought that everyone did.
  
  Writer and journalist Marianne Eloise was born obsessive. What that means changes day to day, depending on what her brain latches onto: fixations with certain topics, intrusive violent thoughts, looping phrases. Some obsessions have lasted a lifetime, while others will be intense but only last a week or two.
  Obsessive, Intrusive, Magical Thinking is a culmination of a life spend obsessing, offering a glimpse into Marianne's brain, but also an insight into the lives of others like her. From death to Medusa, to Disneyland to fire, to LA to her dog, the essays explore the intersection of neurodivergence, fixation and disorder, telling the story of one life underpinned and ultimately made whole by obsession.

  Reimagining Jonah - A Flight to...

  What would cause a proclaimed prophet to run away from everything he called home and dodge the 
  unyielding God of his tribe? Devoted to an uncompromising commitment to selfhood, Dr. Doug Wheeler 
  challenges the traditional assumption that Jonah was a miserable coward by examining him as a deeply 
  conflicted, courageous, and soulful man. With a poetic flair, Reimagining Jonah provokes and confounds 
  with language flavored by trauma and empathy, producing a richly contemplative and profoundly human 
  version of this well-known tale. 
  “Here is the story of Jonah like you have never heard it before! Doug Wheeler brings to his writing his 
  long wise years as a pastoral therapist. He knows that every story we tell — including Jonah’s — is thick 
  with subterranean transactions and freighted with background. It turns out that the story, in his gifted 
  artistry, is an account of being “born again” in freedom as a true self, engaged with the real world, and 
  partnered with the holy God who is well beyond all of our idols. Wheeler insists in an inescapable way on 
  our being participants in the narrative, with an earnest of good outcomes for our role in the story that is as 
  contemporary as it is ancient.” 
  — Walter Brueggemann, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary
