Dave Blincoe has launched efforts to promote a book he’s written for people who’ve experienced grief and other emotions over the loss of a parent.

Blincoe plans to make the book, titled “Notions of Being Broken Branches,” available through a web site he expects to soon complete at www.redmoonpublishing.com.

He said his intended audience is anyone who’s lost a parent and experiences grief from that loss, regardless of their gender or the reason for the loss.

He said the book is based in part on his experiences as a teen-ager after he was abandoned by his father and his subsequent study of trauma. Blincoe said he promised himself if he recovered from his grief and depression, he would tell others how the healing process occurred.

He said his mother remarried and the family moved from an urban to a rural setting. He said he found solace in walking and exploring his stepfather’s property.
