Loving from the Outside In, Mourning from the Inside Out

The capacity to love requires the necessity to mourn. In other words, love and grief are two sides of the same precious coin. One does not -- and cannot- exist without the other. They are the yin and yang of our lives. In this compassionate guide, internationally known grief educator Dr. Alan Wolfelt explores what love and grief have in common and invited the reader to mourn well in order to go on to live and love well again. "The keys to love also unlock healing in grief," writes Dr. Wolfelt. "Just as you opened your heart to love, you must now open your heart to mourn."
