Jerusha McCormack provides instead a series of signposts by which we may find our own path to a new life. \"We are all amateurs at grief,\" she writes, \"it comes to us all; we must all go through it. To treat grief as a problem to be fixed, or (worse still) to medicalize it, is to rob us of the extraordinary privilege of encountering this experience on our terms: for each of us has our own way of grieving, and each of us has something special to learn from the process.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e For anyone coping with how to grieve, or dealing with loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Chances are, if you are reading this, your heart is broken. This book is designed to help those in pain - and specifically those who have lost someone through death - to imagine the path before them. It is a path of suffering. But it is also a path that may lead to unexpected discoveries - and to peace.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e - Jerusha Hull McCormack\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"This book is a personal, concrete exploration of ways to deal with the pain of loss. It is a book of lessons learned firsthand by the author in her own grieving, and so the book has an unusual immediacy and usefulness. I can imagine giving it to a friend as a first resource. While there are many books offering theories about grief, this one offers a phenomenology of sorrow, a charting of a wide range of experiences anyone might have in the aftermath of loss. It is an excellentbook addressed to the person grieving, not to the person thinking about grief.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e - Thomas Moore, author of \u003ci\u003e Care of the Soul\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Mc Cormack writes straight from the heart in a simple language that is infused with a spirituality that is never preachy or pushy...
