Miscarriage - Finding Hope and...

Stacey Wilmore

Miscarriage is a deeply personal and often painful experience that affects millions of women and families worldwide. Despite its prevalence, it remains a topic shrouded in silence, leaving many to navigate their grief alone. This book aims to provide comfort, understanding, and hope to those who have experienced miscarriage, offering guidance through the emotional and physical healing process.  
  
For many, the loss of a pregnancy brings a complex mix of emotions—grief, guilt, anger, and even isolation. Society often struggles to acknowledge miscarriage as a significant loss, leading many women to feel as though they must grieve in silence. Friends and family may offer well-meaning but unhelpful advice, leaving those affected feeling misunderstood. It is important to recognize that miscarriage is not just a medical event but an emotional and psychological one as well. The pain of losing a child, even in the early stages of pregnancy, is real and valid.  
  
While no two experiences are exactly alike, one common thread among those who have suffered miscarriage is the search for meaning and healing. Some find solace in talking about their experience, while others prefer quiet reflection. Many turn to faith, support groups, or counseling to help them process their grief. Regardless of the path taken, healing is possible, and hope can be found even in the darkest moments.

French Made Easy - Beginner -...

Lingo Wave

We broke our new series on learning French down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series.
This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise French.
In Unit 1 you will hear French decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said.
Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native French speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand French. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in French at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken French, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences.
In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

Book 1 Bricks that Build Us -...

Rob Howat

Ideas build and destroy civilizations. Things are not going well. The need for action is now. After thousands of years of human development, our humanity seems to be intent upon disassembling itself with WOKE, Politically Correct thought police, rejected lessons from history and art, ‘book burning’, minorities DICTATING how we live and what we MUST think, riots, homelessness or helplessness and political polarizations with open conflicts and theft in our streets. How to revitalize harmonious existence, individual respect, laws equally for us all, and spirituality either via religion or constructive logic. So to create the conditions for cooperative, harmonious, self-disciplined inter-personal life: a return to greater stability of both mind and action working together for the good of communities and an increasingly interdependent World Social Family. 
This building and rebuilding process will take generations, the current alternative will be humanity’s exit which would be both painful and permanent. This need not be. We each can learn so confidently form a renewal of our children’s real future but only by rebuilding our thought processes, awareness, and understanding with and through calm debate, discussion, and sharing of mind.  
Industry, agriculture, and the use of both people’s time and natural abilities matter greatly: smaller could well be far more beneficial. Creating public demand to raise output and income too often leads to waste and even harm while generating wealth for a minority, too many of whom are amoral or undeserving.  
What is reality other than what we decide it to be? All stems from family upbringing, mental inputs and experiences; educational practices, understood beliefs, the free flow of ideas; respecting other's thoughts, and community actions, which all coalesce into formed concepts and so beliefs. These and more build our minds, humour, fears and needs. These are the very Bricks that Build Us
