A validating new approach to the long-term grieving process that explains why we feel “stuckâ€, why that’s normal, and how shifting ourÂ*perception of grief can help us grow - from theÂ*New York TimesÂ*best-selling author ofÂ*Motherless Daughters.
“This is perhaps one ofÂ*theÂ*most important books about grief ever written. It finally dispelsÂ*theÂ*myth that we are all supposed to get overÂ*theÂ*death of a loved one.†(Claire Bidwell Smith, author ofÂ*Anxiety:Â*TheÂ*Missing Stage of Grief)Â*
Aren’t you over itÂ*yet?Â*Anyone who hasÂ*experienced aÂ*major loss in theirÂ*past knows this question.Â*We’ve spent years fielding versions of it,Â*bothÂ*explicit and implied, from family, colleagues, acquaintances,Â*and friends. We recognize the subtle cues - the slight eyebrow lift, the soft, startled “Oh! That long ago?†- from those who wonder how an event so far in the past can still occupy so much precious mental and emotional real estate.Â*
Because of the common but false assumption that grief should be time-limited, too many of us believeÂ*we’re grievingÂ*“wrong†when sadnessÂ*suddenlyÂ*resurges sometimesÂ*months or even years after a loss. The AfterGrief explains that theÂ*death of a loved one isn’t something most of us get over, get past, put down, or move beyond. Grief is not an emotion to pass through on the way to “feeling betterâ€. Instead, grief is in constant motion; it is tidal, easily and often reactivated by memories and sensory events andÂ*isÂ*re-triggered as we experience life transitions, anniversaries, and other losses. Whether we want it to or not, grief gets folded into our developing identities, where it informs our thoughts, hopes, expectations, behaviors, and fears, and we inevitably carry it forward into everything that follows.Â*
Drawing on her own encounters with the ripple effects of early loss, as well as onÂ*interviews with dozens of researchers, therapists, and regular people who’ve been bereaved,Â*New York TimesÂ*best-selling author Hope Edelman offers profound advice for reassessing loss and adjusting the stories we tell ourselves about its impact on our identities. With guidance for reframing a story of loss, finding equilibrium within it, and even experiencing renewed growth and purpose in its wake, she demonstrates that though grief is a lifelong process, it doesn’t have to be a lifelong struggle.
