Have you ever wondered what am I going to do to comfort my dying mom, dad, husband, wife, son, daughter, etc.? Do you feel like the hardest and possibly scariest act that you can do is be with a dying loved one? Have you ever wondered if there really is a higher power looking out for us? Have you ever wondered what am I going to do when your back is COMPLETELY up against a wall? Well than, Heading Home - My experience with tragedy, loss, and grief, is a book you need to read! Heading Home is an inspirational story of courage, faith, and unconditional love in the face of impending tragedy. This is a true story of miracles, not just coincidences. As a result, these miracles maintain the sanity of the author and his family. Being delayed numerous times, (brain tumor surgery was his latest excuse, no really!), Heading Home is finally finished! Matthew Hayduk's Heading Home is not just another tearjerker however it will make you look at life in a completely different light. This is a very introspective look into a belief that was once based on blind faith, replaced by irrefutable evidence of a power greater than him. Heading Home is also a mix of tales that the author learned in sobriety and key moments in his son Matt's life in his fight with leukemia. It's also about how he was able to utilize that knowledge in his son's treatment to help him. This story is also consists of random acts of kindness from friends, family and some of todays sports stars. There really are no coincidences is not a cliché, it's proof of a greater existence. Matthew's desire is that this story brings hope and comfort to those who have loved ones who suffer from or are themselves terminally ill. His reason for doing this is because he knows all too well that life doesnt come with a manual on what to do in situations like this. For those of you not dealing with a terminally ill loved one, Matt's hope is that you find the spiritual message that can be applied to any of lifes difficulties. This is a story that is part narrative, part self help. Heading Home picks up after 20 plus years of sobriety. Everything thats been said here is whats been shared with Matt over the years. The experiences, stories, prayers, and people in this tale are God given. All he needed to do was just be open-minded and listen to the messages and messengers. For those readers that are atheist or agnostic, please insert whatever you call your higher power anywhere you see the word God. Lastly and most importantly Matt would like to say that this book is mainly written to keep the memory of his son Matthew Edward Hayduk alive in a very intimate story.
