Publisher's summary

How you can get through one of the hardest challenges of your life with grace, compassion, and dignity

There’s nothing as devastatingly painful as the loss of a loved one.

And getting through this pain will be one of the toughest things any of us will go through in our lives.

Grief is a universal experience that everyone will endure at one point in their lives, yet it’s also a uniquely individual journey for every one of us.

If someone you love has died, whether it’s a spouse, parent, child, or close friend, you need to take the time to grieve for them.

What grieving looks like for you may be different from someone else’s, but it’s a necessary process to help you deal with your loss.

During this difficult time, you might struggle to do simple things like getting out of bed, going to work, or spending time with friends.

And that’s absolutely understandable.

Not only do you have to come to terms with knowing that your life will never be the same again, but you also have to adjust to a new reality that no longer includes your loved one.

While nothing can really prepare you for this loss, there are ways to make this journey more manageable–and even meaningful.

Grief will provide some valuable insight and tools to help you understand what you’re going through, find comfort, and cope with your loss.

Inside, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

• How to find your way through the pain of loss and the agony of grief at your own pace
• What we get wrong about the five stages of grief, and how this misunderstanding could be hindering your grieving process
• How you can find relief from your pain and suffering, even for just a moment, with this proven method
• The most difficult days to get through when you’re grieving–and how you can make these occasions a bit easier for you
• How to deal with the complex (and sometimes conflicting) emotions that come with grief
• Why you may feel relief at your loved one’s passing–and why you shouldn’t feel guilty about feeling this way
• How you can start living your life again after mourning, even if you don’t feel like facing the world
• How to recognize if your grief is harming your daily life–and how you can seek help for it
• How you can honor your loved one’s memory and find meaning and purpose in your loss
• And much more

Highly recommend

There are so many things I liked about this audiobook.  First, it’s a great gift for a loved one or friend who has just lost someone they love.  However, be sure to read it first because there is valuable information so you can be more supportive to them as they are grieving.  The information is easy to understand and since the authors share their real-life experiences, you can tell their message comes from a place of understanding.  They do a great job of normalizing and validating what you are going through while also reminding you that the grieving process is an individual one that has no one right or wrong way to do it.  My favorite messages from the authors are that death ends a life and not a relationship and that the loss of someone you love is not something you get over.
