Surviving

Special Hardcover Edition

An award-winning memoir of love, loss, hope, and learning to live again.

When Gary Sturgis lost his spouse to cancer, his world changed forever. In the days, weeks, and months that followed, he searched for someone who truly understood the loneliness, heartbreak, and uncertainty that grief brings.

Unable to find the kind of book he desperately needed, Gary wrote the one he wished had been there for him.

SURVIVING - Finding Your Way from Grief to Healing is the honest and deeply personal story of one man's journey through devastating loss. With compassion, vulnerability, and hope, Gary shares the realities of grief-not as an expert looking in, but as someone who's lived every page.

Now six years after its original publication, Gary returns to this story with a perspective only time can provide.

This Special Hardcover Edition is more than a beautiful new format. It includes exclusive new material written twelve years later, reflecting on how grief continues to evolve, how healing unfolds over time, and how love never truly leaves us.

This edition includes:

• A brand-new Foreword

• A heartfelt Author's Note

• An all-new essay: What Twelve Years Have Taught Me About Grief

• A new chapter sharing where Gary's own journey has continued since the original book was written

Throughout these pages, Gary gently reminds readers that grief isn't something we "get over." Instead, it becomes something we learn to carry while slowly discovering that joy, purpose, and hope can still exist alongside our loss.

Whether your loss is recent or happened many years ago, SURVIVING offers reassurance that your grief is normal, your love endures, and you're not walking this path alone.

This timeless hardcover edition is a book to return to whenever grief feels heavy, and a meaningful gift for anyone navigating the difficult journey of loss.
