Michael V Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 Hi. At the end of 2015, my wife left me. She was, at the time, almost 5 months pregnant with our baby girl. My entire world crashed and swallowed me whole. I began what would eventually be the most significant and transformative period of my entire life. I drudged the depths of my being, into my old patterns, into my old wounds, into the very basic essence of what makes me up as a person. In short, I spent a lot of time scraping along the bottom of my life, with my eyes wide open and willing to experience each and every thing that appeared into my consciousness – as they happened. My commitment to myself was to feel everything, hear everything, and know everything that was being made available to me inside that horrendously painful place. I started writing. A lot. At first, I think that it was mostly just a therapeutic activity to be able to navigate sincerely all the overwhelming feelings and thoughts that engulfed me. Maybe I was creating a fictitious dialogue in order to have some company inside of that pain. I don’t know the answer. I didn’t question the process, I just wrote and wrote. I finished the text. Then I edited it. I believe that it is accessible, genuine, and resonant. It is the story of how my heart was shattered, and the story of how I learned to put it back together myself. I published with Amazon two months ago. The feedback has been positive and gracious. I’m proud that the fruits of my hardship could serve as a tool for the strength of others facing similar challenges. I came across LoveShack recently and realized that I should introduce myself and my book. Instead of linking to the Amazon page, I would like to share the book trailer, which is a short YouTube video. From there, you can find all the relevant information if you want. Being left alone is an extremely painful and raw place, and I know it intimately. The book speaks from there. 3
honestyrightback Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 Beautiful. Learning! I love it. All the learn, learn and learn. Your life made you learn. Your wife didn't. If your wife did, it would be illegal and deliberate karma.

Bebe11 Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 I think everyone has a story to share. People experience many problems in life, and it sure does help if we can learn from each other. I applaud you for sharing your painful story. I have also had some adversity in life, but I relied on my faith to get me through. What helped you get to where you are today?
