Annotation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:#1 Grief is a process that never ends. It is a journey that you must take, and it will change your life. You must allow yourself to grieve, and understand that healing is possible.#2 When someone you love dies, you are forced to change. You can't return to the old you, because the old you was broken by the loss. Grief and loss are inevitable parts of life, and we must accept them and work through them.#3 Sorrow has turned your world upside down. You feel empty, alone, and lost. You do not need to do anything initially. Take it minute by minute, hour by hour, and day by day. As the hours add up to a day, you'll have accomplished what may have seemed impossible.#4 Grief is an authentic reaction to loving. If you had not loved so deeply, you would not be able to grieve so deeply. Only a person incapable of love is free of the possibility of sorrow.
