What Others Have to Say...
Lyrics of a Broken Heart is nothing less than a lamentation, coming from the depths of a Broken spirit, over a father\'s loss of his son.
In doing so, we discover our pathway, our own authentic journey.
The experience of loss can be so potent we may compartmentalize our emotions--as the author reflects in "The Cavern of My Lament."Speaking in a voice that is honest, raw, soft, and vulnerable, he lays bare his world, inviting us to feel, to embrace, to trust our own process without judgment.
Through lyric prose, he plumbs the depth of his Journey from devastating loss to emotional recovery.
Turning his private journaling into a book, Mueller shares with the reader the deepest emotions a father can experience from the loss of his child.
As I continued to write, I discovered I was creating a pathway through grief Toward emotional wholeness.
The writing was the key to my sanity.
I was groping in the darkness, in sadness, with no sense of how to move forward in a life without my son.
