Losing a partner is never funny. To a widow—or, as author and educator Diane H. Nettles prefers to call herself, a WWPD (woman whose partner died)—grief and brain fog can seem like bouncers blocking the entrance to the happiness club. But laughter can help in even the toughest of times. Grounded in positivity and good humor, Grab Life by the Bungees: And 50+ Other Ways to Find Humor, Hope, and Happiness After Your Partner Has Died is the perfect read to help you add doses of joy back into your life and find a new identity after losing a life partner. In eleven short and easy-to-process chapters, Nettles shares practical and proven methods for managing and moving forward with grief, while acknowledging its importance in healthy personal growth. With compassion and lightheartedness, Nettles explains how to use laughter and optimism to deal with grief, revealing insightful personal stories from her own experience after losing her husband of almost thirty-nine years, as well as strategies for moving forward. You’ll learn how to handle grief triggers, navigate a return to work, manage the holiday season, cope with insensitive comments, resist dreading the future, honor your partner’s legacy, and find the courage to think about dating again. The book includes more than fifty simple tips to help you smile, conquer fear, and feel happiness and contentment again. It’s okay to laugh, cry, dance—and hang on for an exhilarating ride—even in the face of devastating loss.
