Publisher's Synopsis
The aftermath of loss, especially loss by suicide, is traumatic, confusing, and exhausting. The author's own experience with loss and her work with thousands of other survivors inspired her to create this book with the hope that it will help others rebuild happy and fulfilling lives after loss. Rebuilding a new life is not easy, but healing happens from the very beginning in almost unnoticed moments. The struggle becomes how to move forward in a healthy way. Rather than telling someone to "get over it" or "move on," the author recommends compassion and specific steps to finding support and working through grief. Each person is unique; each relationship is unique. And each of us must find our way on the grief journey on our own individual timetable. What helps most is knowing we don't have to do this alone.
