OverviewLoss can be overwhelming. After a loved one's death, a divorce, an injury or disease, or other major life change, recovery often seems daunting, if not impossible. With great compassion and insight, Bob Deits provides practical exercises for navigating the uncertain terrain of loss and grief. With a new chapter on sudden losses, guidance on using technology to foster connection and maintain support networks, and significant changes throughout reflecting Deits's ongoing counselling experience, LIFE AFTER LOSS helps readers find positive ways to put together a life that is necessarily different but equally meaningful.
