Book excerpt: This is book is about loss. Loss is something everyone has experienced or will experience. Whether you lose a loved one or a job, all losses lead to some form of grieving. There is no right or wrong way to navigate the journey of grief because we are all unique individuals made in the image of God. Within the grieving process, we have been programmed to think a return to normalcy is expected. This books asks the question, "How can you continue to live as if nothing happened when a part of you is missing?" The reality is, you cannot. "Finding Your New Normal" is about authentically finding a new way of doing things. You have to find your new normal. As I share my journey of growing from grief to grace I hope to gently guide you along your journey to do the same.

Book Synopsis Permission to Grieve by : Shelby Forsythia
Download or read book Permission to Grieve written by Shelby Forsythia and published by Shelby Forsythia, LLC. This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The voice behind the popular grief podcast Coming Back: Conversations on Life After Loss puts pen to paper in her first book to create a powerful permission slip for anyone facing the devastating heartbreak that comes with death, divorce, diagnosis, and so much more. When loss steamrolls through, there’s a lot of hidden and not-so-hidden “rules” about the way you’re “supposed” to grieve: “You should be over it after a year.” “Put on a brave face.” “Keep your grief at home.” Permission to Grieve calls out society’s garbage rules for what they really are: toxic and repressive narratives that insist we abandon our true selves in the face of grief. Shelby asks instead: - What if we allowed grief the freedom to influence our emotions? - What if we allowed grief the power to alter our identities at home, school, and work? - What if we allowed grief to show up in the physical world through art, memorial, and ritual? - What if we gave ourselves… Permission to Grieve? Drawing on her experience as a grieving person and two years’ worth of interviews with grief experts like Megan Devine, Kerry Egan, and Caleb Wilde, Shelby Forsythia makes the case for radical, self-honoring permission—free from personal judgement and society’s restrictive timelines and rules. Permission to Grieve guides you to call your grief out of hiding and invites you to give it permission through thoughtful writing prompts, easy-to-follow exercises, and clever visual illustrations. In this book you’ll learn: - How society encourages us to practice life-rejection and self-abandonment instead of expressing our grief - The three big permissions that unlock the emotions, identities, and actions our grief wants to express—featuring insights from -podcast guests and Shelby Forsythia’s personal grief community - Tips and tricks for practicing permission to grieve in the real world—including how to ask for permission to grieve from friends, family, and coworkers and tools for helping others tap into their own permission to grieve Permission to Grieve is not a hall pass from a higher authority; it’s a personal practice that is strengthened with self-awareness, attention, and love. You don’t have to wait to receive permission to grieve; you already have it. Permission to Grieve is a book for people who are tired of covering up and pushing down their pain. It’s a book for people who know that there’s a better, more compassionate way to approach the worst thing that has ever happened to them. It’s a book for people who believe that grief is not an enemy to be vanquished as quickly as possible, but an opportunity to connect more deeply with their human selves. Because even in the midst of loss, Shelby writes, we can create grace, space, and room to breathe.
Download or read book The AfterGrief written by Hope Edelman and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A validating new approach to the long-term grieving process that explains why we feel “stuck,” why that’s normal, and how shifting our perception of grief can help us grow—from the New York Times bestselling author of Motherless Daughters “This is perhaps one of the most important books about grief ever written. It finally dispels the myth that we are all supposed to get over the death of a loved one.”—Claire Bidwell Smith, author of Anxiety: The Missing Stage of Grief Aren’t you over it yet? Anyone who has experienced a major loss in their past knows this question. We’ve spent years fielding versions of it, both explicit and implied, from family, colleagues, acquaintances, and friends. We recognize the subtle cues—the slight eyebrow lift, the soft, startled “Oh! That long ago?”—from those who wonder how an event so far in the past can still occupy so much precious mental and emotional real estate. Because of the common but false assumption that grief should be time-limited, too many of us believe we’re grieving “wrong” when sadness suddenly resurges sometimes months or even years after a loss. The AfterGrief explains that the death of a loved one isn’t something most of us get over, get past, put down, or move beyond. Grief is not an emotion to pass through on the way to “feeling better.” Instead, grief is in constant motion; it is tidal, easily and often reactivated by memories and sensory events, and is re-triggered as we experience life transitions, anniversaries, and other losses. Whether we want it to or not, grief gets folded into our developing identities, where it informs our thoughts, hopes, expectations, behaviors, and fears, and we inevitably carry it forward into everything that follows. Drawing on her own encounters with the ripple effects of early loss, as well as on interviews with dozens of researchers, therapists, and regular people who’ve been bereaved, New York Times bestselling author Hope Edelman offers profound advice for reassessing loss and adjusting the stories we tell ourselves about its impact on our identities. With guidance for reframing a story of loss, finding equilibrium within it, and even experiencing renewed growth and purpose in its wake, she demonstrates that though grief is a lifelong process, it doesn’t have to be a lifelong struggle.

Book excerpt: "A heartfelt invitation for grieving readers...An excellent resource for those working their way through loss." —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Veteran hospital chaplain to the sick, dying, and bereaved, J.S. Park offers you both the permission and the process for how to grieve and heal at your own pace. In As Long As You Need, J.S. offers an honest and unrushed engagement with grief, decoding four types of grieving—spiritual, mental, physical, and relational—and offering compassionate self-care and soul-care along the way. If you are struggling to process loss, pain, or grief from the last few years or the last few minutes, J.S. is an experienced and deeply empathetic listener and grief catcher who has held the pain and questions of thousands of patients. While social and cultural narratives about grief are dominated by "letting go, moving on, or turning the page" in his nearly decade of service as a chaplain at a major hospital with a designated level one trauma center J.S. understands firsthand how rushing or suppressing grief only adds a suffocating layer of pain on top of the original wound. From his unique window into the stories of the ill, injured, dying, and their families, J.S. offers you: Permission to dismantle all too common myths about grief and replace them with a guilt-free and unrushed approach to navigating your losses. Encouragement for how entering grief, rather than avoiding it, leads to a hard but meaningful holding of your loss. Empathy and hope if you are struggling with a crisis of faith in the midst of grief. Recognition that grief spans a wide narrative of loss: loss of future, faith, mental health, worth, autonomy, connection, and loved ones. Affirmation that your grief is your own. While the DNA of grief might be universal to the human condition, how you experience and process grief is unique to you. From the ER to deliveries to deathbeds across every sort of illness and injury imaginable, J.S. Park has provided meaningful counseling for people in all walks of life and death. Now, through his book he wants to assure you that, while everybody else might rush past your pain, grief is the voice that says, take as long as you need.

This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resilient Grieving offers an empowering alternative to the five stages of grief—and makes clear our capacity for growth following the trauma of a loss that changes everything As heard on NPR’s Hidden Brain and CBS News The death of someone we hold dear may be inevitable; being paralyzed by our grief is not. Recent research has revealed our capacity for resilient grieving, our innate ability to respond to traumatic loss by finding ways to grow—by becoming more engaged with our lives, and discovering new, profound meaning. Author and resilience/well-being expert Lucy Hone, a pioneer in positive psychology and bereavement research, was faced with her own inescapable sorrow when, in 2014, her 12-year-old daughter was killed in a car accident. By following the strategies of resilient grieving, she found a proactive way to move through her grief, and, over time, embrace life again. “This book aims to help you relearn your world . . . to help you navigate the grieving process as best you can—without hiding from your feelings or denying the reality, or significance, of your loss.”—from Resilient Grieving

Book Synopsis From Grief to Gratitude by : Dora Carpenter
Download or read book From Grief to Gratitude written by Dora Carpenter and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2019-09-14 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a grief-avoidance society and the sensitive topics of death and grief are still the elephant in the room. Death is inevitable and will visit every household at some point, but because it's not required learning, such as CPR, the 911 system, emergency evacuation, and the like, we are unfamiliar and unprepared to deal with it when it knocks on the door. We don't know what to say or what not to say to someone who is grieving the loss of a dear love one. In most cases, we say all the wrong things, such as "I understand how you feel." This unscheduled event has placed itself on your calendar, crossed your doorstep, and entered your home without permission. You can't change, delete, postpose, reschedule, or evict it. It doesn't discriminate against race, creed, color, religion, nationality, gender, age, sexual orientation or cause of death. It grants you membership into a club that you never asked to join. This inevitable occasion of death has taken possession of the core essence of your existence... now what How do you accept that life as it was will never be the same again? How do you describe the pain, despair, loneliness to others? Why do people say all the wrong things, such as I understand how you feel, or It just takes time, or You should be over it by now or It was just God's will? Might it make things better if they said nothing at all, or simply I don't know what to say, but I am here for you? It's a dark and lonely place. A wilderness where you will encounter crooked paths, wrong turns, dead ends, scattered debris, seemingly no way out. How do you find the light, the peace, the comfort that you so desperately seek, or does it even exist? Will the pain ever go away? Will you live, thrive, or love again? Why do we grieve anyway? We grieve because we loved. To grieve is not selfish, as many might indicate. It is the normal and natural response to loss. It is your own personal, unique response to the love that you shared with your loved one. Dora Carpenter says that just like the cocoon's tenacity and perseverance causes the transformation to a beautiful butterfly, so can you. She says it doesn't have to take many years to be held hostage and victim to the emotional, physical, and spiritual pain of unresolved grief. No, life as it was will never be the same again, but life going forward matters, it counts, and you have an obligation to live it for the rest of your life. If you choose to do the work, you can find meaning and purpose in your life going forward. What is this thing called the grief work, the new normal, the renewal, the rebirth? Dora Carpenter's grief coaching model helps you navigate the grief journey so that you can move from pain to peace, heartbreak to happiness, and grief to gratitude in the shortest time possible. She inspires and empowers you to live a fulfilled life of meaning and purpose while creating the legacy that you will be remembered for. She says, "Embrace all that life has to offer you, celebrate each baby step along the way, and find gratitude in the gift of now. From Grief to Gratitude: We Grieve Because We Loved is written for those grieving the loss of a loved one as well as those supporting others who are grieving. The author shares her personal and death care industry experience and coach training to address this diminished, often silenced topic. A recommended resource for every household.
