Book Synopsis Living Grieving by : Karen V. Johnson
Download or read book Living Grieving written by Karen V. Johnson and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shamanic energy teacher Karen Johnson writes with both hope and compassion in a book described by bestselling author and noted shamanic teacher Alberto Villoldo as "The owner's manual for embracing grief with courage and transforming it into wisdom, to discover the ultimate and lasting gift of joy." Karen Johnson's fast-paced professional life came to an abrupt halt when she lost her twenty-seven-year-old son to a heroin overdose. Rather than grieve in a way that made people around her comfortable, she did the unexpected. She retired, sold her house and all her household goods, and went on a two-and-a-half-year journey that took her all over the world, finding a spiritual practice along the way. Karen didn't think she could ever find her way out of despair, but she found a process that worked-a sacred journey and map-that she wants to share with others so they can heal too. This book is structured around practices that are part of the Four Winds Medicine Wheel as developed by Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D. Karen blends her personal story and meaningful experiences with each direction of the Medicine Wheel, offering exercises related to each of the four practices. Writes Karen, "I want you to know something really important. You may be feeling stuck in your grief and wondering why you can't seem to get over it. I felt the same way until I realized we do not get over grief. It's not like catching the - u; we aren't sick. There is no cure, and we can't medicate it away. Grief is a state of being that carries energy that you can tap into to create a new life. Just as we use the energy of other newly acquired states of being like marriage or parenthood to transform our lives, we can likewise use the energy of grieving to transform."

Download or read book A Woman’s Guide Through Grief and Loss written by Betty Hill Crowson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does one begin to maneuver through the multi-faceted maze of grief and loss? How are we supposed to feel? What do we do next? We don’t know what we don’t know. As much as we have learned and been taught in life, there has never been clear-cut directions, practical guidance, and hands-on support to get through a devastating loss. That is, until now. We Don’t Know What We Don’t Know: A Woman’s Guide through Grief and Loss has been written to provide easily readable and relatable answers to our questions. Based upon her decades of personal and professional experience, author Betty Hill Crowson brings an entirely new perspective and clarity to the “work of grieving.” She gently guides the reader through a process of learning to differentiate and cope with widely fluctuating emotions, taking steps to get their feet back under them, paying attention for and disempowering the “shadow aspects” of grief, identifying and addressing old behaviors and responses that keep one stuck, and taking specific, doable steps to heal and to move forward. Above all, Crowson offers hope that we will get through this. While grief and loss dramatically alter a woman’s life, they also provide opportunities for us to grow, to be of service to others, and to create something new and meaningful with what is yet to come.

Download or read book Continuing Bonds written by Dennis Klass and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1996. This new book gives voice to an emerging consensus among bereavement scholars that our understanding of the grief process needs to be expanded. The dominant 20th century model holds that the function of grief and mourning is to cut bonds with the deceased, thereby freeing the survivor to reinvest in new relationships in the present. Pathological grief has been defined in terms of holding on to the deceased. Close examination reveals that this model is based more on the cultural values of modernity than on any substantial data of what people actually do. Presenting data from several populations, 22 authors - among the most respected in their fields - demonstrate that the health resolution of grief enables one to maintain a continuing bond with the deceased. Despite cultural disapproval and lack of validation by professionals, survivors find places for the dead in their on-going lives and even in their communities. Such bonds are not denial: the deceased can provide resources for enriched functioning in the present. Chapters examine widows and widowers, bereaved children, parents and siblings, and a population previously excluded from bereavement research: adoptees and their birth parents. Bereavement in Japanese culture is also discussed, as are meanings and implications of this new model of grief. Opening new areas of research and scholarly dialogue, this work provides the basis for significant developments in clinical practice in the field.
