Lessons From the Unexpected: Living with Prolonged Grief
A guide to navigating life after profound loss
If I could spare anyone from long-suffering grief, I absolutely would. The reality is that I cannot. But I can share clinical information, lived experience, and practical tools in the hope of helping you along your path.
There are some types of grief that are experienced on a far more impactful level than others.
This book is designed to support people carrying longstanding grief as well as those who meet the diagnostic criteria for Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD), a recognized clinical condition. Both groups of people can benefit from this work.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Real-life vignettes of individuals navigating deep, enduring loss
- Clinical education on the neurobiology and mechanics of prolonged grief
- Practical somatic exercises to help soothe a dysregulated nervous system
- Guided prompts for self-reflection and personal integration
It’s our natural human instinct to compartmentalize pain and avoid challenging emotions. This book is designed to help you move forward at a manageable, gentle pace.
Longstanding grief and PGD can feel very isolating. It is my hope that by listening to the accounts of others who truly understand the nature of deep loss, this book can help bring you some clarity, validation, and relief.
You are not alone.
