Mark Alexander was thirty six years old when he lost his long-term partner. Overnight, he found himself in the middle of his worst nightmare: alone and lonely with his heart ripped to pieces and his life not worth living. Each chapter is a mental snapshot of his two-year-long journey through the five stages of grief as he struggles with loneliness, suicide, confidence, identity, purpose and being. He shares his solutions to these challenges and he offers a final thought at the end of each chapter. Turn to this book in moments of despair. Let Mark's struggles be a reminder that what you are going through is normal. It's cruel, unfair and very draining but it makes you stronger. It gives you the power to get back on your feet and resume life once again.
