Synopsis

Into Depression and Beyond describes one manā€™s journey through the bleak landscape and emotional devastation of depression and mid-life crisis. In the form of poetry and prose the author articulates the inner turmoil, spiritual disillusionment, and struggle to make sense of these unforeseen events. Biographical snapshots provide some commentary and background while the message of hope in the midst of despair is offered as a lifeline toward a brighter future. The encouragement given in these often-painful words is that even those with a strong and deep spiritual faith can fall, fail, and despair. The plea is for friends and family to patiently walk alongside without judgement, and to validate and encourage the one in despair, the ultimate goal being for all involved to arrive at a place of rekindled life and faith rooted in the integrity of personal self-acceptance and Godā€™s mysterious faithfulness.
