Grief as a Second Language: A Guidebook for Living with the Loss a Loved One

By Stacy Parker and Valerie Alexander

Book Overview

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 oneWhat to do with all the memories (and things) left behindHow to prioritize your health and well-being, even on days when you feel there is no pointTechniques for keeping the most important people in your lifeTo release self-blame and not to re-live painful moments that keep you from moving forwardWhich reactions to the loss of a loved one are perfectly normal (hint: almost all of them )
This book is the first step in your journey towards your new normal.
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
