A book for any kind of loss--sympathetic to all grief.

I needed to make sure I was okay after a break-up of a long-term relationship. My emotions were so out of control--I thought I was mad. After reading "Life After Loss"; I felt a much better about the emotional turmoil I was living with. I struggled, but I felt more "normal". Deits reveals to us that no matter your loss--it is a loss. Your losses, whether they are career/job changes, moving, death, ended relationships, or even twists like getting married and losing your sense of independence, all affect you differently. If you allow yourself your grief your doing yourself a favor. I think because of Deits and other great spirited writers that Ill never experience the same sense of utter turmoil in my life because now I feel I can acknowledge grief--rather than fight it and THAT can make all the difference.

A Life Affirming Guide to Loss, Grief, Courage, and Hope

On January 27, 1991, I scoured the bookstores of Southern California trying to find the following title: "What to Do When You Find Out that Your Baby Doesnt Have a Brain." I had just left UCLA and I was stunned to learn that after 28-months of painful, infertility treatment that the child we had dreamed of bore such a terrible birth defect. After I left my fourth bookstore, I realized that no one had ever written a book about the specific situation I was living through. Happily, I did encounter a title called, "Life After Loss" that day. Life After Loss saved my life. My first copy is dog eared, tea stained, tear stained, filled with momentos, and much loved. In the subsequent eight years, I have bought at least 30 copies of the book to distribute to friends and associates going through grief. I learned that our society is embarrased by the display of pain. To keep myself sane, I had to learn to express it. In Life After Loss I learned that you cant go around grief, that you have to go through it. I learned that my sorrow wouldnt engulf me if I understood what to expect from the grief cycle. I grew to understand and have empathy for the small and large losses each of experience in our daily lives. I learned how courageous it is just to get out of bed in the morning when youre hurting. Life After Loss is a road map to your new life. I pray that your future will lead you to your dreams, as mine has.

A very helpful book in grief recovery.

This book helped me recover from the loss of my father. I have shared this book with others hurting with loss who agree.
