Lies in the Afterlife is a fiercely intelligent and unflinching exploration of what happens to the living after the death of a beloved partner. Written by occupational therapist, widow, and truth-teller Rondalyn Whitney, the book reframes grief not as an emotion to be processed or overcome, but as a full-body, full-life relocation into a strange and uncharted territory she calls the Afterlife-the place where the bereaved must live on after someone they love has died. This Afterlife is not a religious heaven nor a metaphysical destination for the dead. It is the disorienting, absurd, and often brutal state of being left behind.

When Whitney's husband of more than thirty years dies in a car accident, she finds herself thrust into this new world: one where time fractures, the body betrays itself, language collapses, and nothing that once made sense quite works anymore. The question at the heart of the book is deceptively simple: Who am I now, and how do I live, when the life I knew has ended but I have not?

Structured as a series of short, incisive chapters, Lies in the Afterlife blends memoir, grief literature, dark humor, medical science, and practical survival guidance. Whitney draws on her professional expertise in occupational therapy to frame grief as an occupational disruption-an injury as real and destabilizing as a stroke, heart attack, or traumatic brain injury. In the Afterlife, everyday tasks like eating, standing, sleeping, and making decisions become unfamiliar and exhausting. The body falters. The senses misfire. Gravity feels heavier. Even swallowing food can feel like an insurmountable task. This physiological lens gives language and legitimacy to experiences that are often dismissed or misunderstood by those who have not lived them.

Threaded throughout the book is Whitney's central organizing idea: that much of what society tells grieving people are lies. She dismantles these false narratives one by one, replacing them not with tidy truths, but with sharper, more honest questions and provisional tools for survival.

The tone is unapologetically candid, irreverent, and often laugh-out-loud funny, even as it confronts devastating material. Whitney skewers the absurdities of funeral logistics, euphemisms for death, legal fictions about simultaneous death, and the social scripts imposed on widows. At the same time, she writes with tenderness about love, memory, the body, and the fragile human systems that keep people alive in the aftermath of loss.

As the book progresses, Whitney guides the reader deeper into the mechanics of the Afterlife: the heightened risk of illness and death in the first year of bereavement, the neurological and sensory disruptions that accompany trauma, and the ways grief alters perception, judgment, and identity. She introduces practical frameworks-triage, routines, containment, and care-not as cures, but as scaffolding to help readers remain alive while everything else has fallen apart.

Yet Lies in the Afterlife is not only a book for those who are grieving. It is also a manual for the living who will one day encounter grief in themselves or others. Whitney writes directly to friends, helpers, clinicians, and bystanders, urging them to look more closely, speak more honestly, and offer tangible support rather than platitudes. She exposes how easily grief renders people invisible-and how transformative it can be when someone truly sees.

Ultimately, Lies in the Afterlife is a companion for those navigating unimaginable loss, and an invitation to rethink how society understands grief. In naming the Afterlife, Whitney gives the bereaved a place to stand, however unsteady-and a reminder that while nothing will ever be the same, they are not alone in this strange, absurd terrain.

Taming Wicked Problems with Smart Leadership Thinking

# data[].attributes.description
Wicked problems can never be solved-they can only be tamed.

And they're a lot more common than we might think. The wickedest problems include the climate crisis, war, terrorism, pandemics and mass refugee migrations. In organisations, we see wicked problems like environmental accidents, hostile takeovers, sexual harassment, health and safety failures, product recalls, industrial espionage and reputational damage.

Taming wicked problems requires people to be skilled in critical thinking, decision making, and complex problem solving. But frequently, our organisations and people aren't trained to be able to do these things.

In Sorted, risk and crisis management specialist Dr Clive Smallman thoughtfully and elegantly teaches how you can:
Spot and identify wicked problems before they ariseTame wicked problems and contain their impactLearn from wicked problems to build reliably safe organisationsFoster resilient, wicked leadership within yourself
Once you can spot, tame and learn from wicked problems, you'll be well on your way to turning wicked problems into wicked opportunities.

ONE WOMAN'S JOURNEY LIVING WITH ENDOMETRIOSIS & RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.

This book may make you cry or even laugh out loud, but I hope it will make you feel like you are not alone. It may also help you to know what to do or say to a friend or family member who might be struggling with an autoimmune disorder, or a chronic pain condition.

This book is a true story about my life. I am a 32-year-old woman with multiple conditions, including an autoimmune disorder that leaves me in high levels of pain daily, chronic fatigue and infertility.

I'm putting my story out there to help any other chronic pain sufferers or autoimmune warriors to know that you are not alone.

I hope this book helps all warriors that suffer from similar or different autoimmune conditions to me, and I hope that maybe things I have suggested in this book may help you too. If this book helps just one person, I will be happy.

I hope you finish this book feeling like you are not alone, and know that what you feel is real. I hope it will help the people that are close to you, understand you a little better, and learn ways that might help you and give them a better understanding of just how hard life can be for you sometimes.

I also wanted to write this book to help me.

I will be donating a small portion from every sale of my book to Endometriosis Australia, so together we can help find a cure for this horrible disease one book at a time.

The Parched Garden continues the journey of the couple from Roses Amidst the Thorn, now navigating the desolation of a broken relationship. Struggling with unanswered questions and God's silence, they remain spiritually connected yet divided by pride and pain. Instead of reaching for each other, they turn inward, searching for meaning in the wreckage-questioning the indifference of loved ones, the strength of their foundation, and whether reconciliation is possible. In this wilderness of the heart, they must endure their season of drought. Will

they emerge together, transformed by forgiveness, or part as individuals who have grown? Through their struggle, they are drawn closer to The Living Water-a reminder that even in life's driest seasons, healing is possible for those willing to dig deep enough. The Parched Garden is a testament to resilience, self-love, and the power of divine restoration.

Roses Amidst the Thorns" is a collection of poems which traces a couple's intimate, twenty-year relationship-their young, uninhibited love, their mature spiritual love, the breakdown of their love and the acceptance of the changes in their love. It is my hope by writing these poems to stimulate the reader in such a manner that they realize loving is universal. It is the most powerful force which governs the paths of our lives. At one time or another, we all move into similar phases within relationships. We experience common feelings, feelings which are not so unique to ourselves as they are to the human condition. Hopefully, we learn as a group to regard and cherish the rose (our loves) amidst the thorns (society and self-gratification) so that we may nurture our relationships seeking guidance, wisdom and strength from God, instead of watching them wither and die.

What happens when real-life trauma collides with unshakable faith?

SWAT: Seeking Wisdom and Truth is a powerful, story-driven Christian book that takes readers into the front lines of law enforcement-and the front lines of the soul. Drawing from more than two decades of police work, author Jon Zirpolo shares true, raw experiences from patrol cars, crash scenes, swamps, schools, and homes where life hangs in the balance.

But this is not just a book of police stories.

Each chapter connects real-world encounters with timeless biblical truth, offering honest reflections on faith, doubt, failure, contentment, temptation, grief, worth, and redemption. From devastating accidents and encounters with addiction to moments of compassion, conviction, and grace, Zirpolo challenges readers to examine what it truly means to be Seeking Wisdom and Truth-not just in belief, but in action.

Using Scripture, personal storytelling, and thoughtful reflection questions, SWAT speaks directly to:

Christians struggling with doubt or spiritual burnoutReaders wrestling with guilt, trauma, or past mistakesThose searching for purpose, hope, and renewed faithSmall groups, Bible classes, men's studies, and personal devotion

This book does not shy away from hard topics-including death, addiction, suicide, and brokenness-but it always points back to God's mercy, the value of every soul, and the transforming power of the gospel.

You're either seeking wisdom and truth-or you're not.

This is not a spectator's journey.

This is SWAT school.

Dan Callahan has a wife who loves him, two young children who still believe in him, and a home perched high on a hill that should feel like peace. But something inside him is breaking. The loss of his job is the final spark. Shame becomes weight. Anger becomes routine. Faith becomes silence. And the harder Dan fights to hold his life together, the more he feels like he is losing himself. Until one night, the wind outside matches the storm within. A desperate drive. A raging river. A moment of decision. And then... darkness. When Dan opens his eyes again, the world around him is unfamiliar-too vivid to be a dream, too quiet to be real. The air feels different. The land feels untouched. And the people he meets speak with unsettling clarity, as if they know his name... and everything he has tried to bury. Dan doesn't know where he is. He doesn't know how long he has been gone. And he doesn't know if he will ever find his way back. But one thing becomes clear: He cannot escape the truth forever. Not about his past. Not about his pain. Not about God. Because the wind is still blowing. And somewhere ahead, the path is waiting.

Half Loved and Whole Anyway

This is a book for those who have given everything - and still felt unseen.

Through a hauntingly intimate collection of poems, Half Loved and Whole Anyway traces the inner life of a soul navigating love that didn't stay, homes that didn't heal, and strength that arrived quietly rather than triumphantly. Each piece unfolds like a confession - raw, reflective, and deeply human - exploring themes of emotional abandonment, self-discovery, longing, and the fragile courage it takes to choose oneself.

From the ache of being "the last to be chosen" to the quiet rebellion of reclaiming identity, the collection moves through heartbreak toward self-recognition. It does not promise resolution - only truth, and the possibility of wholeness that exists even in fracture.

This is not simply a book of poems.a It is a journey through silence, survival, and the realization that being half loved never made you half complete.

The book explores the soul and how it projects to others. Two examples, Steve Jobs and Jesus Christ, are examined for what each did as an "extreme entrepreneur," to provide a position that has changed and will continue to change humankind. In his words, Steve Jobs provided technology that provide a "bicycle for the mind," putting complex technology in the hands of the non-technical masses. Jesus Christ converted living in fear to living in love as a way to tap the God within each of us.

'"The Tale of a Broken Heart" (A Story of a Broken Heart) is a book of poems that will introduce you to every aspect of heartbreak. A person's heart doesn't break only in love or romance; life is full of events that shatter it into pieces. In this book, you will see how a child's heart breaks when they do not receive love and attention from their parents. How a friend's heart breaks when a close friend betrays them. Elsewhere, you will see how a woman is shamed simply for being a woman. The largest part of this book will tell you the story of a beloved's heartbreak. The pain isn't that our dreams shattered; the real sorrow is that the very people for whom we broke our dreams are now angry with us. Our grief isn't over our unfulfilled desires-what can we complain about to those who have no idea of our loss? We squandered our happiness for those very people, and to this day, none of them are remorseful.
