Filled with compassion and hope, Understanding Your Grief helps you understand and befriend your painful, complex thoughts and feelings after the death of someone loved. Befriending grief may sound counterintuitive, but actually, your grief is your love for the person who died in a different form, and like that love, it's also natural and necessary. Perhaps above all, Understanding Your Grief is practical. It's built on Dr. Wolfelt's Ten Touchstones, which are basic principles to learn and actions to take to help yourself engage with your grief and create momentum toward healing. This second edition maintains the content of the first edition but builds on it by adding concise wisdom on new topics such as the myth of closure, complicated and traumatic grief, grief overload, unmourned grief, loneliness, the power of ritual, and more. Excellent as an empathetic handbook for anyone in mourning as well as a text for support groups, Understanding Your Grief pairs with a guided journal.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1617223077\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781617223075\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Wolfelt, Alan, N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Companion Press (CO)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Companion Press (CO)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Sep 2021)","offer_id":45657355518149,"sku":"9781617223075","price":19.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781617223075.jpg?v=1768891188"},{"product_id":"soul-smart-what-the-dead-teach-us-about-spirit-communication","title":"Soul Smart: What The Dead Teach Us About Spirit Communication","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSoul\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eSmart\u003c\/em\u003e: \u003cem\u003eWhat\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eDead\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eTeach\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eUs\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eAbout\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eSpirit\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eCommunication\u003c\/em\u003e provides easy-to-follow steps that anyone can use to make his own direct connection with his own spirit guides and beloved people and pets now in spirit. \u003cem\u003eSoul\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eSmart\u003c\/em\u003e presents a fascinating behind the scenes look at what the spirit world is doing to make the communication happen.

Our fear of death is really a fear of loss. Sadhguru shows us how to go beyond that fear so that it no longer rules our behavior.
