It's Your Loss

Explore different approaches to grieving loss to find the one that's right for you

Any kind of loss - whether the death of a loved one, breakdown of a relationship, or loss of your job - can be devastatingly painful, leaving life feeling empty and pointless, and yourself sad and worthless. Even subtle losses in life can trigger a sense of grief. For example, you might grieve after moving away from home, graduating from college, or changing jobs. But just as the phoenix rises from the ashes, loss is a natural part of life and can be a catalyst for new beginnings. By working through your emotions of shock, disbelief, guilt, anger and sadness, and taking time to heal and accept your loss, you will discover that it is also an opportunity to find new meaning and make positive changes in your life. Emma and Robyn believe that there is no right or wrong way to navigate loss, only the way that's right for you. They explore their natural inclination to either keep their feelings in (Emma) or let them all out (Robyn), and expert commentary from a professional psychologist anchors their differing viewpoints in scientific fact. By the time they've guided you to the end of the book, your grieving journey will be over, and you will be ready to move on with your life.
