WHEN DEATH TAKES A FATHER - Gladys Kooiman - hardback BOOK with dust jacket

Description: This auction is for a used hardback book - with dust jacket: When Death Takes a father by Gladys Kooiman BAKER BOOK HOUSE Copyright 1968 by Baker Book House Company 171 pages Quote from inner flap of dust jacket: This book, born out of the vortex of a most painful experience, tugs at the heart strings. Many pass through the deep waters of death in the family, but few have the gift and capacity to share their emotions with others. Gladys Kooiman had the cour- age to write a first-person account which lays bare the deepest emotions - fear, anx- iety, love, joy, frustration, depression. This is an honest book. Through simple but effective prose Gladys Kooiman relives the shattering experience of losing a loving husband and the devoted father of her eight children. What happens when death intrudes upon the family circle? How do children react to the death of a father? What does a mother say when her little son cries, "I want my daddy," when she knows that nothing can bring him back to his son? Can a mother really make fatherless boys into men? How should a widow react to those in the com- munity who thing there are only two kinds of widows, either very rich or extremely poor? How does she fight the gnawing de- pression which threatens to engulf her? The answers to these questions and a host of others are skillfully woven into this unusual story of courage and determination. ...
