Her husband, Ken Staggs, had been found unconscious at the bottom of their pool. Four days later he would be declared dead leaving her a widow at 42 and her son, Ryan, fatherless at the age of seven. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Side of Heaven chronicles the lives of Valerie and Ryan as they struggle to survive the aftermath of Ken's death in a world that neither they nor anyone around them really knows how to navigate.\u003cbr\u003e As they search for help from friends, family, school, church, grief groups, therapists and strangers, Valerie gives us a raw look into the unique experience of loss from the perspective of both woman and child and shares the fallacies that we all hold of the grieving process. From the initial shock of sudden death and the harsh realities of a grieving child, to the sticky nuances of being a widowed woman, to the surprisingly humorous side of death, \"This Side of Heaven\" chronicles exactly how life goes on after loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Total Publishing and Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781633020931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.57d","brand":"Valerie Staggs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36663547068572,"sku":"9781633020931","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a14cdf99-ce2f-463d-9c3a-7b6adaa56856.jpg?v=1603904559","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/this-side-of-heaven-a-memoir-9781633020931","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
