Grief is a horrible thing, and it's a thing that many of us don't think about until it's time. Grief is something most of us don't prepare for. After all, to really prepare for grief means that you're losing someone or about to lose someone, and no one wants to lose someone. So, if grief enters our minds early at all, it's usually followed by us saying, "I'll deal with that later."
I'd seen death in my life. I'd lost parents and friends, and it started early. One of my first funerals was at the age of four. I thought I knew grief. But what I didn't know was how I would feel when my wife died.
The only thing I can say is that my grief was directly proportional to the love I had for her. I loved her to the sky and beyond. And I missed her to hell and beyond.
Grieving is a process. It's a way to get from A to B, but the hurtful part is that when you get to Part B you won't find your loved one waiting. Part B is just a way of saying that it's time to get on with your life. And really, that's a win, as sad as that may sound.
Flying Geese Drift The Shadows is a continuation of Flying Geese and The Hope Dogs and Flying Geese Hills and History. This is the story of my love for Genie, and how I lost her, and the picking up of the pieces afterwards. Through the entire process, and always by my side, were a pack of dogs. They brought us love and smiles.
As opposed to the first two books, Flying Geese Drift The Shadows focuses on after Genie died. This was my grief. And this is how I wound my way through the thorny trail of life. Our Border collie Maddie is featured in this book, as are Remy and Baux, two Australian shepherds, two brothers, who were featured in the book A Healing Way Two Dogs, A Coyote and An Old Soul.

If you enjoy books that help you search your soul, facilitate in-depth examination of your own life circumstances, then FLYING GEESE DRIFT THE SHADOWS by David Weiskircher is a good option for you! One of several books written by this gentleman, this tome, like his others, focuses on David’s struggle with grief after the loss of his beloved wife. He offers incredible insight into the nuances of life, and demonstrates that profound loss, while devastating, also opens doors to intrapersonal exploration and deeper understanding of yourself, the world, and your part in it.The book is at times fun, and at times tear-jerking. It is not, however, a book that I would plan to “binge-read”. Rather, it feels more appropriate for the bedside, perhaps even the coffee table, where one might peruse only a chapter or two at a time. Chapters are short, only a few pages, and vary in whether they offer heartfelt stories of the struggles of a couple dealing with terminal cancer, tales of the authors journey through bereavement, or light-hearted stories which, to one more apt to take precious time together for granted, would easily be overlooked as mundane. Taking the book piece-by-piece would allow the reader time to digest each part, appreciate the depth of the writer’s passion, and meditate how each short lesson can be adapted into everyday life. Overall, FLYING GEESE DRIFT THE SHADOWS is uplifting, but don’t be surprised if you need some tissues along the way!

Flying Geese Drift The Shadows edition by David Weiskircher Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
This is really a beautiful book about a man who has lost his wife after she had battle breast cancer for 10 years. I know there are alot of women who have gone through the same battle and made it through stronger, changed.. but stronger and I know there are families who have watched their loves ones suffer and pass - leaving holes in their life that they wonder if they will ever be filled.
You'll want a box of tissues alongside a warm cup of tea to help choke back the lumps that well up in your throat as you reminisce down memory lane with David- has he learns how to deal with the loss of his best friend and love of his life.. Genie. Each place that he revisits and each memory he shares makes you fell as if you knew Genie as well. Suffering the loss of a loved one is something that we all have to go through eventually - personally I feel that suffering the loss of a life long companion, best friend and lover... tops it all.
If you enjoy realistic romantic stories, that don't always have a happy ending... then this is the book for you! If you where a fan of the Notebook... then this is the book for you! If you have suffered recent loss... then this is the book for you!
In his new book, ‘Flying Geese Drift the Shadows,’ David Weiskircher chronicles his heart-wrenching journey through the deepest grief he has ever known, the loss of his beloved wife, Genie. Their love affair was all-encompassing, almost to an obsessive degree. I know very few couples who have achieved that level of devotion and, I’m totally admitting a serious character flaw here I’m always suspicious of them. It must be wonderful to be so in love with someone that one can only bear to be apart from the other for short periods of time. To be completely in synch with another that you sense what they are thinking, will do next or are doing when you are not present is nothing short of miraculous. I’ve never met someone who ‘completes’ me, and it must be grand.
I suspect my own parents fell into this category to a lesser degree, and, like many of these blissful couples, when one passed away, the other soon followed.
Not so for Mr. Weiskircher. For one thing, he and his wife were middle-aged, not elderly ,when cancer showed up for a second visit with Genie. And after the awfulness of the end of Genie’s illness, David was left, healthy and with many painfully empty years ahead.
But he was not left alone. His gang of four-footed canines were and probably still are, his life-line, his link to the happy past, his anchor to the present and his steps into the future. The stories he relates about the sensitivity of their pets are as poignant and gut-wrenching as his memories of Genie. For example as soon as Genie died, David thought it a good idea to have the light in Genie’s room on a timer so it would come on in the morning and evening . A few mornings later, as David sat and read the newspaper, one of the older dogs, Maddie, saw the light twinkle on and raced to the room. David writes ‘And then I saw the expression on her face when she came out of the room. I quickly removed the timer.’ I can’t read or write this passage this without choking up….
I read this book with an eye out for mention of children and not until I was ¾ through do we learn that David had been married twice before and had one son. While there were true feelings of paternal love , I’m certain, I feel bad that there seemed not to be the devoted closeness with his child that he had with Genie.
‘Flying Geese Drift the Shadows’ is a hard book to read, but it’s a hard book to put down. Mr. Weiskircher has written other similar memoirs and I’m not tempted to read them this one was enough. But when and if Big Grief ever comes my way, I will be reaching out to David Weiskircher for help.
And his dogs.
