Publisher's Synopsis
Why study a "language" like Grief? Because when you are fluent in Grief, your grief becomes manageable.When you are fluent in a language, you can move through it more quickly, without the same stumbles and stops of needing to search for each word or phrase. Being fluent in Grief does not mean you don't experience it, it simply means it does not control you.
Fluency gives you a light at the end of the tunnel, a normal you know you will get back to, and a path to get there more fully and freely, and with a bit less pain.With this book as your guide, you will learn:
- How to cope with the physical absence of your loved one
- What to do with all the memories (and things) left behind
- How to prioritize your health and well-being, even on days when you feel there is no point
- Techniques for keeping the most important people in your life
- To release self-blame and not to re-live painful moments that keep you from moving forward
- Which reactions to the loss of a loved one are perfectly normal (hint: almost all of them!)
Some of the work in it may be hard, but it is worth it, as it frees you to process your feelings, let go of thoughts and behavior that aren't serving your needs, and commit to living - really living - the rest of your life. It's what your lost loved one would want!
