You'll find this workbook helpful if you're experiencing sorrow following the death of a loved one, a debilitating illness or disability, the departure of your children for college or life on their own, the death of a cherished pet, the loss of a family home or other financial setback, a natural disaster, or any other kind of loss. The book begins with the compelling insight that the goal of grief work is not a reduction of sadness, but a recaptured ability to experience pleasure in life. In her practice, the author has found that personalized rituals are the most effective way to dispel sorrow and reintroduce pleasure into life.
