Publisher Description
When you have just lost a loved one, recovery will be the last thing on your mind. The possibility of finding joy in life again, enjoying the simple pleasures that life brings, moving on, and focusing on work and your ambitions will sound impossible and maybe even cruel. You may feel like suffering through the rest of your life if only to pay the price for your living while a loved one is dead. You may even stop eating well or taking care of yourself, just to find a way to speed up the process of going to join them in death.
Yet you need to recover and move on. Following the path of recovery can lead to personal growth, excellence, and after a while, you will find yourself being happy again. Loss and its attendant emotions will change you. Things can never be the same way it was before you suffered a loss, but rather than allow it take you down the downward spiral of depression and coping with drugs, you can make a decision to use it to enhance your personal growth.
It is possible for the process of recovering from a loss to lead to more happiness. This is because experiencing a loss gives us a new appreciation for the things we've always taken for granted. The bite of wind that used to be an inconvenience becomes an affirmation of life; you begin to take time to smell the roses (literally) and enjoy the scents of life.
This book provides an ultimate guide for recovery— a short note for developing hope amidst the emptiness.
Customer Reviews
Very good
I think this short book was great especially because you don’t have to pay for it. It’s encouraging I think this author was very informative and wrote this carefully. Thank you.
grief is not linear.
i literally just read this book in one-go in probably 20 minutes. i was feeling one of those grief waves and i couldn’t stop crying so i looked for an e-book on grief recovery and found this.
my uncle died almost seven years ago. he had als. he was sick for over six years. i was ten when he died. my cousins were 17 and 20. i think about him every single day.
i think i’m fine, and then something will remind me of him, and if i’m alone, i’ll start sobbing and won’t be able to stop.
grief takes time. grief is not linear. losing someone is not going to just be something you forget about and move on from, like i thought it would be seven years ago when i first lost my uncle. i pushed every bad thought of him away because i didn’t know how to process what had happened. even though he had been sick for a long time, i think m a part of my ten-year-old self definitely believed he’d never actually die.
this book has some really nice advice. it’s reflective. it’s thought-provoking. it told me things i knew but didn’t accept, things about how i need to take care of myself and not be mad at myself or my uncle. it told me some hard truths.
i don’t really know how to end this review, so… take care of your loved ones. you never know how much time you have left with them. everything is going to be okay. even if you lost someone you love. and you will not regret reading this book. :)
