James A. Robbins, DMIN. Shares
How he Found the Path from Grief to Joy
GRANDBURY, Texas, May 14, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- After losing his wife of 39 years to myotonic
muscular dystrophy type 1, James A. Robbins DMIN. discovered that
there were few resources or recovery groups for widowers. In his
new book, "Widowers Walk: One Man's
Journey From Grief to Joy," he shares how he navigated the
complicated path of grief and found comfort and happiness in life
again.
8 years in the making, "Widowers Walk," showcases the power of
supportive friends, family, and faith communities during times of
grief, highlighting the role of companionship in the healing
process. It shares Robbins' emotional vulnerabilities and struggles
with honesty, allowing readers to connect with his raw and genuine
experience.
"When I began searching for support groups or counsel, I found
that almost all of them were intended for widows," Robbins said.
"Men think and process things differently and open up more easily
to other men. I want my book to be able to be a resource to others
who are facing the same life-changing challenges as I did so that
they too can find joy again."
Robbins shares scripture passages, as well as things that did or
did not work for him and the things he should not have done in his
healing journey. He also acknowledges that grief can cause a crisis
of faith, but reassures readers that by drawing on faith, prayer,
and scripture, they can find strength and healing in God.
"Earth is not our final destination," Robbins said. "For those
who believe in Jesus, heaven is our final home! We will be reunited
in the afterlife."
Robbins plans to share his experience as a caretaker for his
wife in his next book.
