| Synopsis: |
What does it mean to be a survivor? To be the one who lives when someone else has died? Going on after the death of a friend or family member is something everyone will likely have to face at some point in their life. Sometimes the survivor feels guilty: Why did I live when they did not? When a person is one of the few survivors of a large disaster, this feeling can be amplified. Sometimes there is anger, anger at any person or group who can be blamed for the death, including anger at oneself or even at the person who has died. Whenever a person is close to death, they have to work through many emotions. As many find a way to go on, they struggle to somehow make the death or deaths meaningful. Sometimes this means honoring the person who has died with one's own life. Sometimes it means working to change the situations or circumstances that led to the tragedy. Healing is a process, and survivors all work through their emotions in their own way and at their own pace. This book includes the stories of a few of these survivors.Whether they lost friends and family when a mountain of coal waste collapsed and buried an elementary school, or whether they had a sibling die in an accident or of natural causes, these survivors experienced similar emotions and learned to look at life in new ways. Their experiences can speak to you in your own life, whether or not you are dealing with losses like theirs. |
