Gold Star Father: Honoring a Hero, Remembering a Son.

Scott N. Warner

4.9/5 (16498 ratings)

Description:Grieving fathers hurt. Their journeys are long, lonely, and painful—many grieving dads spiral out of control into despair and isolation, often self-medicating by using drugs and alcohol. Depression, anxiety, and sleepless nights replace friends, relentless thoughts of their children in Heaven veil hope with despair, and once strong Christian faiths are tested. Military father, Scott Warner, decided a couple of years ago to write a book sharing his journey of grief, hope, and recovery after the loss of his son, Pvt. Heath Warner—the war in Iraq claimed his life on Thanksgiving Day, 2006. Guided by his Christian faith, his dad decided it was finally time to deal with the pain and sorrow. Grieving fathers grappling with the death of a child need help, and Warner hopes to guide them to living a life of recovery by understanding the depths of grief. His story is a testament to his Christian faith—it faltered, nearly disappeared, and resurrected again to with walk him during his journey to recovery. He still grieves, and some days are still lonely and painful, but he knows the road to recovery is no longer forked—it’s now a clear path to a guilt-free, productive, and healthy life. Warner feels redeemed, and he hopes to help others by encouraging them throughout their journeys. Warner learned about grief in a manner no parent should have to endure—military officials strode up the walk to their door on a favored family holiday and, without ceremony, announced the death of his son. “Please tell me you’re not the mother of Pvt. Heath Warner,” one of them said as Warner’s wife collapsed, her body wracked and convulsing with grief and fear. Her scream was one of a heart ripped apart—hope and optimism for their son’s safe return disintegrated as they attempted to grasp what the military officers told them. Warner stumbled to a chair . . . Warner’s journey tested his strength, resolve, and ability to allow others to help him with his grief—it consumed him and he, too, fell to drugs as a misguided answer to his problems. He knew they weren’t the answer, but he didn’t care—he tumbled further into misery, desolation, and hopelessness with little concern for anything or anyone including his wife and sons. He didn’t understand that his grief didn’t trump his wife’s grief, and he couldn’t motivate himself to be a proper father. He couldn’t do anything. Now, Warner believes bereaved parents must have faith and keep talking—sage advice he learned from a WWII vet. If they don’t, emotions stay buried and grief stains their lives, suppressing any hope of recovery. Warner knew he had to focus on his family, his interdependent relationships, and regaining the love and trust of his wife. Today, they’re in love again, and looking forward to their years together. It wasn’t easy—Warner had to learn how to negotiate with a society that doesn’t understand—it’s only through talking and writing this book that people are going to understand what Gold Star families endure. What war did to his family and children will always be a destructive force, and it creates a void unless they fight and work against it. Yes, there is grief. Hope and recovery will triumph, however, when bereaved parents and families understand the strength of their faith. It will see them through—no matter how deep and jagged the scars. Gold Star Father not only honors his son who offered his life for our country—it also provides an opportunity for grieving fathers, wives, and families to gain self-help by discovering they are not alone and they, too, can find hope and redemption.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
