"A comprehensive self-help book about the various types of loss we experience over a lifetime, and the attendant grief we feel, in all its variations, related to these losses"--Jacket.
Loss and grief are universal experiences and much has been written about both. This books takes a "long view" of both and considers the variety of ways we experience loss and grief - whether through the actual death of a loved one, including a beloved pet, or losses experienced through divorce, medical problems, natural disasters (material items) - over the life course. The author examines what these experiences do to us psychologically, biologically, and emotionally, and offers tools for moving through the various experiences, both big and small.
