"The September Eleven impact started the thinking about sharing this information; a devastating health diagnosis gave birth to the Book. and recent events like Air France Flight 447 over the coast of Brazil, Michael Jackson and the Haitian victims' sudden departure loved ones...It was created to help us carry on with our lives when loved ones suddenly depart, or in the event that we depart suddenly, so that families and loved ones would have a road map.
In the book, testimonials are given by those who experienced the sudden departure of loved ones and who are now living their lives moment by moment, organizing and living full lives." Muriel will check in to talk to us about her book, Sudden Departure Syndrome, at 10:00am. You may buy it online on this link.
Re the Haiti Disaster and its toll on UN employees:
Given
what befell our
colleagues, you might want to share this with the staff and with the
missions...
What is sudden
departure syndrome?
The calamity which recently befell the Haitian population in
general,
and the United Nations Staff in particular, is a wake up call to put
our
personal affairs in order.
