Sexual abuse has left its devastating mark on your life, has left its dreadful energies in your body, and has left its ugly scars in your feelings. To just go on you probably energetically emptied many places in your body and could count on the numbness produced through the physical, emotional, mental injuries to help you to survive. You might have realized how holding these energies stored away to not get overwhelmed by them adds more load of stress and strain - even now in your present life. Furthermore, when you were living through the abuse, you possibly had decided many things about yourself, other people, the world and God. Under the surface, these former decisions can still be active and running, and influence your authentic beingness in the now.
GET OVER SEXUAL ABUSE is dedicated to step up, to let go of the past, and to discharge the old energies, which helped you once to survive.

"We all experience pain and loss as a part of life. The key is to turn the pain into a labor pain and have the curse help us to give birth to a blessing as we learn from the authors’ experience and our own. What the contributors share in Loss, Survive, Thrive and with their words can help us all to learn from the survivors and ease our own pain."
"Not long after my son died, I realized I had to make a decision. I could listen to the common wisdom that claimed I would never get over his loss or I could choose to create a meaningful life. I didn't just want to survive, I wanted to thrive, and thanks to the support of countless people, I am thriving today. Loss, Survive, Thrive is an important book that breaks through common ideas about what grief should look like and shares the stories of families who are creating meaning after experiencing the death of their child. We need to raise these voices and this book does exactly that."
"As an expert with more than 30 years in the field of death, dying, and bereavement, I'm delighted that this book exists. With so much grief and loss in the world, this book offers hope to bereaved parents. The contributing authors share their very personal stories of how they pulled themselves out of the abyss of pain, and found the strength to keep on going. This wonderful book will be an invaluable guide to others who have lost a child."
"When someone has to face the tragedy of losing a child, I'm glad this book is available to help them get through it. The stories offer hope and role models. My own grandmother gave up on life after her eldest son was killed in the Second World War and she died not long after. As bereaved parents trudge through the darkest of days, the stories in this book show they are not alone and give them hope that life can go on."
"This is such an important book! When people are faced with a major trauma, like losing a child, they feel they are out alone in the middle of a deep, dark ocean with no land in sight. That’s when they need a life preserver and compass to not drown in the intensity of the emotions of grief. Every story in Loss, Survive, Thrive demonstrates how a bereaved parent made it out, each with a different roadmap. This book will be treasured by not only the grieving parents, but also their support people who don’t know how to help."
"As a trauma therapist, I have seen how a major loss can lead to a lifetime of suffering. I also know that even the most devastating trauma can be healed under the right conditions. However, most people never find the quality of support that's needed, and this is especially true in the case of the death of a child – an immeasurable loss on many dimensions, which strikes at the core of our identity and trust in the goodness of life. Meryl Hershey Beck has a rare ability to unflinchingly share her journey, showing how it is possible to honor a life cut short with an ongoing relationship that is fully open to love. This message could only be delivered by someone speaking from her own experience. I highly recommend Loss, Survive, Thrive to bereaved parents and those who care about them, and for anyone who looks for reassurance that we can emerge from the depths of grief to rebuild a life of strength, compassion, and undiminished joy."
"I have lived through the grief of losing many loved ones. Reading these stories of loss of a child, extreme grief and healing has affected me greatly. Each chapter broke my heart wide open again. Each chapter became a salve of healing again. The grace and courage it takes to dive into unfathomable suffering and not only drift through but fight and kick through to resurfacing into acceptance, hope and joy became another level of healing my own heart wounds. I recommend it to anyone who has a heart."
