After the Loss:

Find your way through grief

By: Patricia Farrell

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

If you're reading this, something or someone you loved is gone. And you're wondering if you'll ever feel okay again.

This book won't tell you there are five stages you need to get through. It won't promise that time heals all wounds. And it definitely won't tell you to "stay positive" or "look for the silver lining."

What it will do is sit with you in the pain. Tell you the truth. And help you get through today.
GRIEF IS LOVE WITH NOWHERE TO GO
After a loss, everyone has advice. Most of it doesn't help. They tell you how you should feel, when you should be "over it," and what you need to do to heal. But grief doesn't follow anyone else's timeline. And there's no "right way" to do it.

This pocket guide is different. Written by a psychologist in plain, honest language, it walks you through what's actually happening in your body and your mind when you're grieving. It explains why you might feel like you're going crazy (you're not). Why some days are okay and some days knock you flat. And why grief comes in waves that hit without warning.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND INSIDE:
• Why grief feels the way it does - the physical and emotional truth nobody talks about
• The many types of loss that deserve grief (it's not just death)
• Practical tools for getting through the really hard days
• How to handle people who don't understand
• What to do when memories hurt
• How to slowly build a life that includes your loss - not one that pretends it didn't happen
• Permission to grieve your own way, at your own pace
NO JARGON. NO JUDGMENT. JUST REAL HELP.
This isn't a textbook. It's a companion. You don't have to read it straight through. Pick it up when you need it. Read one chapter and put it down for a month. Come back to it when you're ready.

Whether you've lost someone to death, divorce, illness, or any other kind of loss that's turned your world upside down - this book is for you. It's for the raw, early days when breathing feels hard. And it's for months or years later when everyone expects you to be "fine" but you're still hurting.
