The sudden passing of a teenage girl unsettles the four adults in her life. Jarred by this glimpse of mortality, they struggle to understand - or justify - the current state of their own lives. As each gets ready for the funeral, they speak their private thoughts directly to the camera, leaving it up to the viewer to make sense of these off-kilter, self-serving, yet frequently humorous accounts of the family story. By the end of the day, more than a teenager has been put to rest.

As my wife and I struggled with infertility a time ago, we came upon this practical and encouraging book for coping with childlessness. The author, Vicky Love, has written her story well. She is a childless wife of over 20 years, and she shares not only biblical insights, but medical advice and loving counsel for those who are experiencing the emotional pain of childlessness. We identified with her because she had been there, yet, any outsider, whether they be family, friends, business associates, pastor, priest, needs to read this book, too. For the most part, it is a guide to spiritual and emotional health for those who do not have children and who may feel disappointed with themselves, with their mates, or even with God. Some of the chapter titles include: -When the Quiver is Empty -Frustration with Infertility -Coping with Hoping -Good Grief -The Single Non-Parent -Partnership in Process -Couples in Crisis -Affirming Families -Happy Mother's Day! -The Church and the Childless There are more chapters, to be sure, with the last chapters devoted to the "Possibilities" which can be sought in this journey. There is also a great bibliography and a list of organizations and publications for more help. This is a great resource, and read with care and love, and hopefully some who cares and loves for you.

Catholic fiction unlike anything you ve ever read! This heart-pounding adventure spanning forty years culminates in Childless, the third novel in Brian J. Gail s American Tragedy in Trilogy. The reader is propelled from Manhattan boardrooms to European capitals to Middle East laboratories to Church chanceries and confessionals. Step into these pages and follow Fr. John Sweeney and the families he serves as they struggle to live their Catholic faith in a world that grows more hostile with every turn of the page. Gail throws back the veil on the architecture of the Life Sciences Revolution and its carefully planned milestones from the abortifacients pill to in-vitro fertilization to embryonic stem cell testing, and ultimately, to the very door of the Transhumanist project itself. You will see something of your own soul in these characters as they struggle to survive the great apostasy and navigate their way to the Church s promised New Springtime.

In How to Be Childless: A History and Philosophy of Life Without Children, Rachel Chrastil explores the long and fascinating history of childlessness, putting this often-overlooked legacy in conversation with the issues that childless women and men face in the twenty-first century. Eschewing two dominant narratives, that the childless are either barren and alone, or that they are carefree and selfish, How to Be Childless instead argues that the lives of childless individuals from the past can help all of us expand our range of possibilities for the good life. In uncovering the voices and experiences of childless women from the past five hundred years, Chrastil demonstrates that the pathways to childlessness, so often simplified as "choice" and "circumstance," are far more complex and interweaving. Balanced, deeply researched, and richly realized, How to be Childless will empower readers, parents and childless alike, to navigate their lives with purpose.

Leilani Muir was severely abused by her mother, who told many lies in order to have her daughter admitted to the Provincial Training School for Mental Defectives in Red Deer at the age of 11 and branded a moron. But Muir never was mentally defective and never should have been in that institution in the first place. Because of a terrible injustice, a normal child became an insider in a mental institution and is now able to convey to us what life was like there in the 1950s. She tells about how she was briefly questioned by the Alberta Eugenics Board and then sterilized by two clumsy physicians under the guise of having her appendix removed. The agony of her many later attempts to have the sterilization operation reversed is described in detail. She eventually launched a lawsuit against the Alberta government and won an important judgement that led to compensation being paid to hundreds of other victims. After the trial, she became a public figure and continues to speak against all forms of child abuse and discrimination against the disabled. This is Leilani Muir's story in her own words....

Here is a book which offers an original and comprehensive view of the thematic development in Greene's major novels from the mid-1920s to the late 1970s, cutting across the conventional distinction between the Catholic and non-Catholic phase, and illuminating the painful spiritual autonomy within which Greene's characters are impelled to operate in the twentieth-century wasteland, both in the ostensibly religious novels and in the later works.

Many women expect to become mothers but are childless through social rather than biological reasons - perhaps they haven't met the right person or they prioritised career or education earlier in life. Featuring international interviews by grief counsellor and researcher Lois Tonkin, this collection of first-person stories provides insight into the under-discussed situation of being childless by circumstance.Each story highlights the different aspects of being childless by circumstance, as women move through their 30s, 40s, and 50s, and beyond their ages of fertility. The book explores feelings of grief and loss, and also how women adapt positively to their changed life expectations, finding excitement in the alternative, rich and complex shapes their lives have taken.

One of the ineffably lovely domestic sagas made by Yasujiro Ozu at the height of his mastery, The Flavor of Green Tea over Rice is a subtly piercing portrait of a marriage coming quietly undone. Secrets and deceptions strain the already tenuous relationship of a childless, middle-aged couple, as the wife's city-bred sophistication bumps up against the husband's small-town simplicity, and a generational sea change in the form of their headstrong, modern niece sweeps over their household. The dire

Surprisingly, the Bible has a lot to say about childlessness: - Reports of 9 miraculous births granted to formerly childless or barren women - Examples of women who were healed of their barrenness - Illustrations of children granted in answer to prayer - Instances of children denied because of a curse of childlessness This book offers the first real hope to certain infertile couples... because for some there is a spiritual block preventing conception. Presented here are examples of modern day couples medically diagnosed with sterility who — after prayer and deliverance — were able to have children. The testimonies included and the truths from Scripture will build your faith. You will also learn: * How curses of infertility come into being, and how they may be broken * Ways that spirits of infertility and sterility enter, and how to cast them out! The solution for the curse that causes childlessness is the one true source of healing, Jesus Christ.

Here the lovers are Kuki, a 54-year-old employee in a publishing company, and Rinko, a childless, 37-year-old woman unhappily married to a cold fish of a husband, a professor of medicine. Stuck in a dead-end job and an uneventful marriage, Kuki is irresistibly drawn to Rinko from their first encounter, seeing through her demure demeanor to the passionate woman beneath. She returns his feelings with ever-increasing abandon, despite lingering fears about where her sexual awakening may lead her. In the end, both are prepared to risk all for their relationship: family, career, and social standing, even life itself.The story contrasts the lovers' defiantly freewheeling passion - described in imaginative, smoldering detail - with a rigid society where people are expected to play a prescribed role, whether as dutiful wife or compliant office worker. In escaping these conventional roles, the lovers often escape the city as well, immersing themselves in the traditional beauties of Japanese nature and art as they give themselves over to each other and the pleasure of the moment. And ultimately they make a much more radical escape: one that will ensure that they are left in peace, to enjoy an abiding love.
