"Martina Steiger has the courage to feel the pain of life and use it as a labor pain which leads her to give birth to a book we can all learn from. As a physician I am well aware of how difficult it is for health professionals and others to deal with loss. We tend to seek distractions or numbness rather than accept our wounds and become more complete because of them. So read, learn, grow and heal." "“ Bernie Siegel, MD, author of Buddy's Candle and 365 Prescriptions for the Soul "The loss of a loved one is difficult at any time, but when the death is sudden or unexpected, the grief is painfully deep with many unanswered questions. Even though the grief process is well-known clinically, this beautifully written book allows the reader to fully appreciate the profound emotions which emerge as we seek to make sense of the void. Through her evocative and poignant prose and poetry, the author allows us into a very private world following the death of her beloved. Her words will resonate with all who grieve, family and friends who want to offer support and understanding, and care givers who often find words inadequate. This is a story of love, loss and love again. An essential read." - Christine Page, MD, author of 2012 and the Galactic Center: Return of the Great Mother "This is a mighty work, shared with us by a mighty heart. With great courage and tenacity, and despite almost unimaginable hurt and suffering, Martina Steiger explores the depths of her own personal abyss. In her journaling with striking poetry and beautiful prose, Steiger lets us see into, and even experience to some extent, her dark night of the soul. The journal covers several years, and because it was written at the time, just as she experienced it, there is an immediacy in her experiences that the reader can feel. "Strangely, as this is an accounting of grief, it is also a lyrical love story. I wish everyone could read this book. It will be deeply meaningful for anyone who has experienced great loss including loss of loved ones, loss of self and known identity, as is the case for many wounded survivors of wars, loss of home and country. It will be useful for all of us, in our persons and in our loving support of others." "“ Patricia Norris, PhD, Author of Why Me? Harnessing the Healing Power of the Human Spirit "In Invisible Connections, Dr. Martina Steiger tells the story of her journey in the years following her husband's sudden and untimely death. She speaks with candor and with all her heart, inviting you into the raw emotions, the amazing synchronicities and ultimately, the rising and renewal of her life path. You will be captivated by her journal entries and touched by her poetry... which you should read aloud.
