A Guide to Grief
This book is the wise and compassionate friend you need when you experience grief and loss.
Everyone faces loss, and everyone grieves. But grief is as unique as a thumbprint--not everyone grieves the same losses or in the same way. A Guide to Grief covers everything you need to know about death and loss that no one wants to talk about, including:
What to expect in the days, months, and years after loss
The different kinds of loss
How to ask for help
How to help a grieving friend
Whether you are grieving a deathloss (the death of a loved one), or a shadowloss (the death of something not someone), there are simple exercises and helpful mantras to help you move forward in healthy ways. Grief traditions from different cultures and throughout history remind you that this is a universal experience, and you are not alone. This guide has been sensitively reviewed by experts in the field, and contains writing prompts, helpful resources, a glossary of terms, as well as a guide for caregivers. You are part of a new generation of grievers. So let's start a new way of talking about endings.
