Life After Loss: A Practical Guide to Renewing Your Life After Experiencing Major Loss - Bob Deits
To live is to face loss. This is an inevitable part of human experience. No one is exempt from this reality. If we live long enough we will inevitably lose friends, family, loved ones, our job, our health, our independence. These losses will bring grief – the normal and appropriate response to loss. In order to thrive in an imperfect world where loss is to be expected, we must learn how to do healthy “grief work.” The largest of losses can be survived, and even more, can lead to a better life. In this outstanding book, Deits writes of the importance of grief, the grieving process, the role and limitations of religion in the grieving process, and the inevitable losse of old age.
