Grief: Meditations on the Struggle to Embrace Life's Troubles

"One of the best Loss books of all time" - BookAuthority
We're trained from the moment we're born to chase after the Winner's Circle at all costs. Never give up, never quit, never admit defeat. With that kind of operating system, things like death and loss are not really options. They're just temporary setbacks, obstacles on the path to victory. You have to beat them down, circumvent them, don't let them get to you. The goal is get past loss as quickly as you can, and get back to the business of winning.
We don't know how to grieve. We were never taught how. We were never even taught why grieving matters, or how grief is actually good, how it is the way we heal the damage that loss inflicts on our lives.
You might think of this book as the honest friend you've needed to help you sort through the boulders of disappointment, loss, and grief you've been carrying on your back. This friend is brutally honest and courageous enough to engage loss with a whole heart, and to explore with candor and compassion - and no small amount of humor - what grief can teach us, and, more importantly, how it can heal us.
This book will help anyone courageous enough to read it. Are you?
