The First Year After Loss: The GRIEF Ladies' Guide to Everything You Need to Know (GRIEF Brain Reader Series)

Nobody tells you how long this is going to take. Or how much harder it's going to be than you expected. Nobody tells you that the fog you're walking around in is normal, that the exhaustion is real, that the person you've become in these early months—unfamiliar, unpredictable, unrecognizable even to yourself—is not who you are now. It's who you are in grief. In the first year after a loss, most people are carrying something nobody talks about—the contradictions. Feeling like this is taking too long, but not wanting to be hurried through it. Trying to be present in the grief, but needing to function and participate in life. Trying to move forward but not leave their loved one behind. Grief is patient. And the first year is about learning, slowly and imperfectly, how to follow its lead. This book is a guide of what to expect along the way. It is the first in our Grief Brain Reader series, written specifically for the way grief affects your ability to focus, absorb, and process. Short enough to pick up, simple enough to stay with, sustaining enough to come back to. Written by grief professionals Kelly Daugherty and Karyn Arnold, The First Year After Loss offers compassionate guidance, practical insights, and reassurance for anyone navigating the difficult first year after the death of someone they love.
