Grieving Yourself: Accepting Mental Illness, Rebuilding Identity, and Learning to Live Again

By M. Veronica Daugirda

There's a grief nobody sends flowers for. The grief of losing yourself while you're still alive.

M. Veronica Daugirda was a psychology student finishing her bachelor's thesis when her own mind had other plans. What followed was six years of hospitals, medication adjustments and blank periods she can barely remember - years other people spent building careers and relationships. When she finally came out the other side, she had to start from zero. But starting over doesn't erase the old life. It just leaves you grieving a person - and a future - that nobody else seems to recognize as a real loss.
Grieving Yourself is part memoir, part gentle psychological guide, written from the in-between space where you're no longer who you were and not yet who you're becoming.
