Grief is a complicated emotion. While it represents the love you had, it is a painful way to remember. It is a personal journey with a very discernible beginning, but no discernible end. However, you can learn to live with it, and hopefully, you can grow from it. Grief can teach you a great deal about love, life, and yourself--if you allow it.

Grief has entered my life several times, and each time, I have turned to writing to help me make sense of losing my two beloved mothers, Julia, and Trudy, and my beloved fur-baby, Tucker, aka my Nubby-Bean. They have all taught me invaluable lessons. It is my hope that the writing that has helped me cope with loss can help you too.

This is the story of Sol Schwartz, the youngest of three children born to Sam and Rose Schwartz, Romanian immigrants who immigrated to America in the early part of the twentieth century. Sol, born in 1925, relates about his stressful life growing up in Brooklyn as part of a somewhat fractured family. He relates his struggles with education, jobs, and business ventures and his battles with cancer throughout most of his life that was constantly attacking members of his extended family as well as himself. Being widowed twice forced Sol to cope with the problems of raising three children in a home environment with different mother images. Sol's business responsibilities necessitated his being away from home frequently on foreign trips, complicating matters that at times were so stressful he considered suicide. Then a third relationship found its way into his life and gave him cause to want to go on living.

Sol's Thinking

"When I was 22 years old, I left my home in Brooklyn and went to California to “seek my fortune.” I was forced to return home when I learned that my father had suffered a heart attack and was not expected to survive. As I watched his decline, I realized that there were so many things I did not know about him. Did he ever go to school in Romania? What happened to his father? What was his life like before he immigrated to America? Many of these questions occurred to me years later when I had children of my own. It was then that I was determined to write down as much as I could about my life so that my children would not regret not knowing about their father. So it was that I gave birth to "Memories of a Brooklyn Boy."
