No one, no family member, circumstance, event, or situation, was to shame and embarrass them and get in the way of how they ranked and viewed themselves. This way of life was ripe for something more insidious.

The Secret of the Walnut Cake

Narindra’s Sweet Shop

 

Narindra Kumar was the proud owner of the biggest sweet shop in Amritsar. It was located on the main shopping street and stood out with its vibrant colours amidst the crowd.

In the centre of the window above was a picture of Ganesha, who seemed to be enjoying the delicious aroma of the sweets displayed below him.

Ganesha, one of the most famous and beloved deities in the Indian pantheon, is often placed in places where commerce flourishes because his blessing is believed to stimulate ventures as well as an influx of customers and therefore financial revenue. Ganesha is depicted with the head of an elephant with one broken tooth and the body of a man with a rounded belly.

With Ganesha's blessings, Narindra Kumar's labour was rewarded with wealth and prosperity. Foreign journalists often visited him to explore and showcase Indian culture and culinary art. Narindra enjoyed such visits immensely and tried to fulfil every whim of the journalists, because they added to the reputation of his shop and gave him additional publicity.

Narindra's sweet shop was also a favourite with the locals, where they found a variety of specialities for many of their private and public parties. He often fulfilled orders for catering companies and his sweets were preferred by customers for engagements and weddings.

Many local youth applied to work for him, hoping to learn the craft and one day open their own pastry business. The selection of employees was strict, but fair. To get a chance to work in Narindra Kumar's shop, one had to have good references from previous employers and a lot of experience, and climbing the ladder was difficult and hampered by the many competitors.

Crime Unraveled, A Buck Taylor Novel by Chuck Morgan

Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Buck Taylor and his team are back in the 13th novel in the award-winning CRIME series.

Reviewed by Keith Mbuya for Readers' Favorite

Confusion and panic erupted in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, after part of Glenwood Canyon collapsed in the night, shaking buildings in the small town, breaking windows, and leaving a section of a major highway and the Colorado River blocked. A state trooper and a few motorists, who were on the affected highway during the incident, were all found dead. Speculation among some of the townsfolk was that an earthquake was behind the disaster. Some thought it was an explosion. Local authorities bring in the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate the incident. As agent Buck Taylor of the CBI goes in pursuit of answers, he finds himself with more murders, all connected to a rich and powerful family that owns mines in the canyon. What was the family after? Can Agent Taylor expose them and stop their reign of terror in Colorado? Find out Chuck Morgan’s Crime Unraveled: A Buck Taylor Novel, Book 13.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are looking for a mystery murder novel with a touch of crime, Chuck Morgan’s Crime Unraveled is just what you should be looking for. Starring the seasoned crime-solving Agent Buck Taylor, Morgan weaved an intriguing plot, treating me to exciting twists, adventure, thrill, drama, mystery, and so much more. The edge-of-the-seat suspense hooked me, leaving me flipping through page after page. Morgan breathed life into the scenes with colorful depictions, making me feel like I was next to the cast in every scene, watching events unfold. The depictions of the cast’s emotions and the juxtaposing of their complex traits allowed me to connect with them. Albeit the thirteenth in the series, this whodunit featuring money, power, greed, blood, murder, deception, secrets, blackmail, and murder is a stand-alone read.

Reviewed by Alma Boucher for Readers' Favorite Chuck Morgan's Crime Unraveled is the thirteenth book in the Buck Taylor series. Throughout the years, Glenwood Canyon's highway in Colorado had to shut down due to mudslides and landslides. On this occasion, the highway was destroyed in both directions and was covered by a substantial amount of rocks. During a routine check on a truck near the landslide site, a trooper's dash cam captured a sudden white flash. It was unclear whether the flash was caused by the rockfall's pressure or something else. Buck Taylor, an investigative agent with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, was summoned to determine whether the landslide was a natural disaster or a potential act of terrorism. With the discovery of two deceased individuals, a geologist, and a missing geologist's wife, there was a possibility that these murders were linked to the canyon landslide.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Chuck Morgan took me on a roller coaster ride with Crime Unraveled. The action started on the first page and continued until the last. The story was filled with mystery, danger, murder, and suspicions. The suspense kept me glued to my seat, eagerly turning the pages. The characters were authentic and relatable. Each one was an expert in their section, and with all the information put together, they could find the right answer. The story was wellwritten and engaging. I never knew what to expect next; it was a nail-biting read. According to the way the story ends, there must be a sequel. I enjoyed reading this story and look forward to the next one.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐If you are looking for a mystery murder novel with a touch of crime, Chuck Morgans Crime Unraveled is just what you should be looking for.

Smiling Through Your Tears

Smile and the whole world smiles with you…Right?

Sadly, society is not always kind when it comes to grief and bereavement. Death makes us uncomfortable. We shy away from talking about it, that evil inevitable thing that lurks in the shadows. As newly bereaved we force smiles, we force those grins and even laugh as that uncomfortable knowledge becomes part of your life.

Truth is we all die. We don’t always get to choose when and some deaths are so unfair, it cripples us in shock and despair for a long time, such as child deaths, accidents, foul play etc. Some deaths are more ‘acceptable’ like old age, but does that mean your grief should diminish or have an acceptable ‘timeframe’ just because the death is accepted by society?

There I’ve said the dreaded ‘D word. And it’s okay to say it.

Dead. Dying. Death. Deceased.

Someone you love has died. They have gone, and they are not coming back, in this life, if you believe in re-incarnation, as a ghost if you’re a spiritualist, they have gone back to the earth if Atheist.

Whatever you believe, (or not) in the end, it doesn’t matter. They are dead and you are dealing with it every day. You may be lucky and have an amazing family and friends around you who will continue to support, nurture and care for you for as long as you need, but sadly, so many clients I work with have told me the same stories. Do any of these resonate?

‘They were great…In the beginning, but after the funeral, they disappeared…’

‘My friend just pretended not to see me…I feel invisible…’

‘They actually crossed the road so they didn’t have to talk to me…’

They told me I have to ‘get over it’ or people will think I’m mad…’

‘My boss said I had to ‘pull myself together’; it was only a divorce, not a death’…

‘I am being judged by my family. They keep comparing me to that other widow down the road…’

‘I don’t feel I can mention my grief anymore…It’s been a few months now, so nobody ever asks me about it…’

‘I cry in secret, when the kids have gone to bed, so everybody believes I’m ‘over it’…But I’m not’.

‘I loved that house, I’ve lost everything, but nobody cares, it wasn’t a death, only a fire…’

‘When my pet died, nobody understood. ‘It was just a pet’, but to me, it was my fur baby and I can’t stop crying. I miss them so much, but I daren’t tell anyone…’

‘It’s like the funeral was their ‘end game’. Right that’s that, now back to normal…’

‘I have to put on a brave face, for the kids, for work, for my family etc…’

If any of these scenarios’s sound familiar, I hear you. Society has made grieving people a pariah in many circumstances, and though friends, family and colleagues have kind intentions, the pull of ‘life’ inevitably grabs their attention.

‘They don’t want to be sucked into the low energy of grief. They want to continue enjoying life, because if nothing else, death reminds them that time is ticking…’

The truth is it takes courage to keep grieving. It takes lots of energy. It takes a lot of time. It takes your attention from life, for a while, but if you’re not on other people’s ‘expectations of grief, time-wise’ then there is a miscommunication, your energies won’t mesh and they will either run or withdraw, as it is incredibly uncomfortable.

This is NOT your fault. It is THEIR perception, but it is YOU who is suffering because of it.

So, what can you do?

· Be Honest. If you’re still grieving after the funeral, after three months, after a year — Speak up — they are not mind readers. They will see what they want to see, and if they see a smile, they will assume all is ok.

· THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU MUST NEVER SMILE AGAIN — It can be difficult to smile, laugh, enjoy something following a death, and guilt and shame are normal feelings to have (If you do) however, it is important to be honest — (please see above)

· Work through your grief with a professional — If your grief is pulling you down consistently, then talking it through with a professional that you click with can be very helpful. A safe place to release those feelings and explore what is happening for you deep down.

· You do not have to ‘put on a brave face for anyone.’ Especially children. Your children need to learn that grieving is ok. They learn by watching adults. If they see adults swallowing down their grief, pretending everything is ok; this becomes learned behaviour and continues in life. Show them how to be human and feel their emotions.

· Forgive them. Forgive yourself. They can’t help behaving the way they are, no more than you can. Be honest, when someone you know was grieving, how long did you stick around? Did you know they continued grieving? Of course not. Life continues, and people inevitably either hide their grief to ‘fit in’ or they wallow in it, hiding away from society. This is NOT a blame or shame thing to say, it just is and can be a shock upon realisation.

 

· Many people just don’t know what to say. They are afraid of causing upset, making you cry etc. The truth is you are already upset. You are already crying. See point number one — Be honest…And open. Tell those around you where you’re at on your journey. ‘I might start crying, but I prefer to just get on with it alone’ ‘I’m really struggling right now, can I call you if I need to offload?’ ‘I’m okay most of the time, but I have good and bad days. Can you ask me when you see me if I’m black or blue — black for bad day, blue for okay day?’ Etc

 

· Remember, these are your friends, family, companions, and colleagues. They have been in your life for a reason, usually because they care about you, like you, love you, and work with you. Remember these are human beings. We all make ‘mistakes’ when we don’t understand something. Be kind to yourself, and each other.

· If they don’t get it, or don’t want to be involved, thank them for their time with you and let them go. Find those who are willing to walk WITH you on this grief journey. The others will either come around again, or they were not meant to remain in your life. You have enough to deal with without worrying about others.

I hope this gave you some insight and you found something within the page that gave you an ‘aha’ moment.
