Unscrambling Grief

Unscrambling Grief is the story of the author's sojourn through losing two daughters. It describes all the emotions that they as a couple experienced along the path and gives the reader permission to walk their journey in their own unique way, as they did.

This book highlights that grief can result from a multitude of sources, including business failure, a friend moving away, infertility, death of a pet, loss of a limb, having your drivers license revoked and many more.

It's designed to remove the notion that grieving must follow a set process in a designated time frame and will also highlight the fact that it's possible to emerge somewhere along the journey, as a happy and well-adjusted person, again ready to make a valuable contribution to the world.

It takes just over an hour to read, so is a manageable size for a reader in the midst of their own grief situation. Illustrations that lighten the mood, help to expose the absurdity of a situation or the craziness of some of the comments that people unwittingly make.

A compiled list near the end of the book, refers to the chapters in which particular emotions are found, so that the reader can re-read those sections when needing reassurance that their current emotion is valid and ok to be experiencing.

The book concludes with a number of stories about grief experienced by others, enhancing the validity of the emotions expressed.
