About the book:
Bay Area Author, Kris Carlson and her husband had an enviable marriage. They had built a family and a life together that was more than the sum of its parts. And then it was gone. Richard Carlson died on December 13, 2006 at the age of 45 of a pulmonary embolism while on a flight to New York City.
In "Heartbroken Open", Kris shares the most intimate details of the days that followed from the phone call from strangers at a hospital to the day two years later when she realized her overwhelming grief had been transformed into acceptance and a new life.
What makes Kris' new book different is that it is a radical departure from a primer on grief and recovery - it is a book about transformation. Carlson details how, in the wake of her husband's death she necessarily reinvented herself and her life.
For anyone who has lost a spouse, a job, or a marriage through divorce, Kris Carlson's understanding of how trauma and crisis can make you face a new life in new ways is illuminating.
She openly acknowledges she discovered a person she would never have become, a strength she would never have found, had she not had to lose her beloved husband. By sharing her own journey, Carlson shows readers how to do the same.
