4. I'll poke my nose in here from time to time and will be delighted to answer questions, and you are welcome to question my answers.
   As you can see, I have no sense of humor but am a grumpy old man.
   It's just that fun is one of the 7 magic bullets that shoot down depression, anxiety and suchlike monsters.

5. the excerpt sounds very interesting

6. The book sounds very helpful. Grief is one of those emotions that is difficult to navigate.

7. Looks like a great self-help/healing book.

8. Sounds like a interesting book.

9. It's 5 am here in Australia. I woke for the reason old men wake in the middle of the night or thereabouts, then came visiting here.
   Thank you, ladies, for the positive comments.
   Grief is a savage monster but we have the power to deal with it. I have processed the grief for my daughter using the tools I have taught my clients for decades. But if you have a shred of empathy, you will feel second-hand grief for the victims of terrible wars, of extreme greed, of hate and discrimination, of climatic disasters. My book lays out the research-based techniques to handle grief caused by anything.
   We live in an insane world but can protect ourselves from its emotional effects.
   If you don't believe me, read my book. If you do believe me, you'll want to read my book.
   So there.
   :)

10. This looks like a very informative book.

    1. I hope it is useful. Think of me as your grandfather, telling you healing stories.

11. This sounds like a great read for the summer. I am loving the cover too. Sounds like one that will keep me reading all night for sure!

    1. Thank you, Heather. There is no point in boring a reader, especially one who is not on top of the world. Please check out my blog, Bobbing Around.

12. Nonfiction, Inspirational Self-Help - I love this genre.
    Sure to help helpful things!
    Thank you for sharing the excerpt.

    1. Thank you Barbara. One of the rules of the Universe is, the more you give, the more you get, and also the more you give, the more you grow. It is my joy if I can reduce suffering, but no good being serious about it. Being lighthearted lights up anything.

13. Is there anything you wish readers knew about the book that they might not get from reading it?

14. I like book details.

15. Soha, thank you for asking.
    In 1972, my recently departed daughter was a tiny child. I wanted to know what kind of a world I'd brought her into, so studied futurology. No, not Nostradamus, but extending current trends to the future, under a range of assumptions. The results horrified me, because I predicted today's world.
    This is how I became a Professional Grandfather. Anyone born after 1993 is my grandchild. My job is to work for a tomorrow for them, and one worth living in: ruled by decency, compassion, cooperation. Earth is in its 6th extinction event because of greed. To have a future, we need to change global culture to what all the great religions and philosophies have told us, time and again.
    More on my blog, https://bobrich18.wordpress.com particularly the essay "How to change the world."

16. Great cover!

17. I am the last of my immediate family (parents and siblings) and the grief and adjustment to it, has been different for each of the losses. But I am living proof that time does help--not to lessen the grief but to push it somewhat to the back and allow the good memories mean more in some ways than the pain of the loss.

    1. Carol, you are a wise person. Departed loved ones stay with us for life, but after the grief is processed, we can remember them with fondness. And the last part of my book describes the most important tool for coping with anything: suffering has two parts: the bad thing and wanting it to go away. If we simply accept it, the pain is still there, but not hurting.
       There is more to it of course, but this is a comment, not a second book!

18. interesting

19. This sounds like an interesting book and I also like the cover.

20. It looks like a good read.

21. Sounds like a very interesting book! Thank you! :)

22. Grief is an old companion of mine also.

    1. Cindy, in a way that's a resource. You survived and probably become stronger and wiser each time. So, next time you face a problem, you know the same will be the eventual result.

23. looks like a fun one.

    1. Thank you, Daniel. Life is too short for the seriousness it deserves.
       One of the necessities for healing I discuss is how to return enjoyment into your life when grieving.

24. A much needed book Do you write in a daily journal?

    1. When my daughter was diagnosed with inoperable cancer, I started a grief journal. I devoted half an hour each morning to my emotions, and being a writer, I did keep a journal.
       Nowadays, I may get it out once and then, to work on second-hand grief about the terrible events of our world. This makes me a more effective campaigner for decency and sanity than if I were stuck in despair.

25. This sounds like an interesting and well-written self-help book!

    1. Thank you, Jeanna.
       Do visit my blog, Bobbing Around where there is a lot more including heaps of free short stories, and a list of all my books.
       But this book, "The Hole in Your Life," is my effort to reduce suffering the tiny bit that one person can. So, please read it, and tell others about it.

26. Very thought-provoking. Thank you for the giveaway!

    1. Thank you, Debbi. The giveaway is Silver Dagger Book Tour's input into my wellbeing. If any authors read this, I can thoroughly recommend their services.
       For my part, I would not dare to provoke a thought. It might punch me in the nose! I prefer to cuddle up to thoughts and lead them up toward light.

27. I'd love to read this.

    1. Wonderful, Laura. Whatever serious losses you have in your life in the future, the ways of thinking and acting I describe will ease your path. If you send me a review, I'll give you a free e-copy of one of my other books (there are 19 of them).

28. Sounds great.

    1. Thank you, Rita. It is my way of doing the tiny amount I can to reduce suffering on a planet ruled by cruelty and insanity. Whatever worries you may have, the techniques I describe will help.

29. Sounds good.

    1. One of my current works in progress is a science fiction series, in which the main female protagonist is Renata, because it is such a musical name. :)

30. This looks like my kind of book.

    1. Michelle, I hope you do grab a copy. Send me a review via the contacts page of my blog, and you'll have earned a free e-copy of one of my other books.

31. Question for Author--What inspired you to become a writer?

    1. Soha, you do ask excellent questions.
       I fell into it -- literally. I slipped during a soccer game and tore a cartilage in my knee (not a good idea). In hospital, bored, I wrote an article for a magazine. This led to a byline column, and my first book, and...

32. Sounds like a great book!

    1. Thank you. There are 19 others waiting for you at my blog, and you can earn two for free: send me proof of purchase of this one (like a review) and subscribe to Bobbing Around.
