Resumen del Editor

As a therapist, Dr. Sherry Walling knew all the “right” things to say to help people through grief. But when she lost her father and her brother within six months of each other, she learned how much our current thinking about grief has to change. “There is no precise GPS for getting through grief,” says Dr. Walling. “And truth be told, we never arrive on the other side. It is a landscape we live in now.”

In Touching Two Worlds, this trusted expert dares to open the inner workings of her own grief—and in the process, provides a clear map for anyone searching for hope in the aftermath of loss. The book is the ideal gift to bring comfort to friends and family when there are few helpful words to say—written with honesty, gentle humor, and deep understanding.

Dr. Walling shares moving personal stories while offering a broad range of healing strategies and exercises for those currently moving through grief—like how to talk to bereaved people, cry on airplanes, and cope with survivor’s guilt. These are tips from someone who has been there, as well as approaches supported by her professional experience with her own patients.

Touching Two Worlds is a story of love, sadness, and renewal. Whether your loss is recent and sharp or old and familiar, Dr. Walling delivers wise and tender guidance through this new land—to carry the weight of grief while finding your own path forward.

Wish I had this book years ago

I cried, I smiled and and my heart ached as I listened to this book- but most of all, I learned how I might better handle grief in the future. I wish I would have had this book when a close one passed a few years back. Highly recommend this book!

A beautiful and insightful work on grief

Sherry Walling is bright light in a field that can be quite dark. Her combination of in depth expertise and personal experience make this a wonderful book. Highly recommend!

Very Helpful In Dealing With Grief

Having lost my best friend to suicide in 2004, I have had therapy and read all of the books. And thought there would be very little new for me here. To my surprise, this was different and very helpful. Written in the 1st person, this was refreshing. And also nice that the author is a clinical psychologist, so incredibly sound advice.

And the bit about Disney and grief was eye-opening, and really brings home the necessity of helping out children through grief and getting rid of our programming.

If you are experiencing grief, or have a friend who is (Sherry also covers what to say and what not to say) I strongly recommend either getting the book or listening to this audio... this is ready by the author and you really feel it.
