It's Grief: The Dance of Self-Discovery Through Trauma and Loss

By Edy Nathan

Book Overview

In It's Grief, Edy Nathan examines the emotional and devastating impact of loss and trauma. It identifies the intricacies of the dark and unfamiliar effects on the self. The book illuminates how the brain holds the complex circuitry of grief. It then provides choices to help deal with the complexity of grief. It's Grief unravels the mysterious dimensions of this journey with a clarity that transforms grief into one of life's great teachers.

A profound read, It's Grief: The Dance of Self-Discovery through Trauma and Loss, offers a unique approach to the personal ebb and flow of the passages and endings that occur and exist on a soul level. The grief experience is as individual as a fingerprint. Edy introduces the Eleven Phases of grief; they move into and out of one another based on one's distinct needs, and do not need to adhere to a specific timeline or order to be understood or used. They are based on who you are in your grief. Once you identify how you interact with the world -- as an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert, the tools that help you help yourself become more abundant and clear.

Featuring a compelling mix of science-based knowledge with heart-centered compassion, Edy Nathan shares a deep understanding of how grief can affect people at every level of their being. She offers workable tools from two decades of experience to help you actively shift moods, crippling thoughts, and behavior. This book is supportive without sugarcoating. The corresponding workbook features practical exercises to help without preaching or dictating how to grieve. Take your grief, engage with it, and allow the experience to be a time of insight and growth.

Excellent Self Help Manual - A positive approach to help manage grief and loss

This book was eye-opening. After experiencing several losses over a brief period of time, a friend recommended I read "It's Grief" to help me adjust to the many life changes I was experiencing. Shortly after losing a loved one, I found myself having to sort through belongings and facing hoarding behaviors. This book helped me to understand how closely hoarding, loss and trauma are linked. The self discovery exercises and advice given in this book helped me to cope with greater patience and understanding for myself and for my family. I would recommend this book to anyone who is in the process of understanding and managing their grief.
