  When Lizzie Pickering's young son Harry died in 2000, she set out on a journey to understand how she could survive her grief and learn to live with it. In When Grief Equals Love, she details the lessons she's learned from her own experiences and those of others, who share their thoughts in this moving and tender book.
  
  Lizzie opens her diaries, written in the early years after Harry's death, revealing her observations on the grief of his siblings and family, what helped and what hurt. Revisiting those diaries, she reflects on time passing, and what has changed for her and her family since.
  
  Lizzie looks at the myth of closure, survivor's energy and cumulative grief - when life experiences pile up and become too much to bear. She includes interviews with bereaved friends, who share their own insights, and she provides a toolkit based on what has helped her and what she recommends to those she now helps with grief guidance.
  
  In most lives, unfortunately, grief and loss are inevitable. But living with grief can still be living. This book is for those going through grief and anyone who might need to support them. There are no easy answers, but nobody should have to cope alone.
  
  Please visit When Grief Equals Love on the Unbound website for all sources quoted in the audiobook and additional resource suggestions from Lizzie.

  It is said that a surgeon must have ‘the eyes of a hawk, the heart of a lion, and the hands of a lady,’ but have you ever wondered how a surgeon learns to operate, how he ‘cuts his teeth’ progressing from naive newly-qualified doctor to competent surgeon? 
  In this collection of medical tales, the training of one slightly naive young trainee is viewed through the experiences of the patients he treats as he embarks on this most challenging of careers. We share his joy when things go well, his anguish when they don’t and learn that, at the end of the day, compassion and a sense of humour make wonderful medicine.

  When Saul was a little boy, he used to listen to stories about a place called Eretz Yisrael – the land of Israel. Everything he heard inspired him and he longed to know what it would be like to live there. He dreamed about being barefoot in the sand; about digging deep into the soil to plant young saplings that, with time and patience, would grow into strong trees full of apples and figs.
  
  When he was old enough, determined to make his dream come true, he devised a plan to travel there. But what happens when your dreams come true? Are they as you had imagined them?
  
  Follow Saul in this heart-warming tale about growing up and making your dreams come true. Discover the people he meets along the way and the importance of accepting everyone, no matter where they come from. Great things await us all if we are patient enough to discover them and if we are brave enough to pursue or dreams.

  The Essential Writings of Ralph...

  Ralph Waldo Emerson

  Emerson's enduring reputation, however, is as a philosopher, an aphoristic writer (like Friedrich Nietzsche) and a quintessentially American thinker whose championing of the American Transcendental movement and influence on Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, William James, and others would alone secure him a prominent place in American cultural history. Emerson is often characterized as an idealist philosopher and indeed used the term himself of his philosophy, explaining it simply as a recognition that plan always precedes action.
