Although we all live with the implicit knowledge that we will inevitably experience the loss of loved ones, when the time actually arrives the pain is no less excruciating. Re-arranged, Never the Same: The Nature of Grief serves as a guide and companion through this challenging, heartbreaking and disorienting journey.Through a thorough examination of the feelings and thought patterns that occur with loss, a deepened understanding of our commonality can soften the edges of aloneness that accompanies bereavement, and also may awaken us to the courage and self-compassion necessary to shift from who we were before our loss to who we become through the grieving process. Self-care exercises and tools are offered to help navigate living with grief, and help to integrate the loss into our lives as we move forward, all in time. In contrast to many other books on the subject, Re-Arranged, Never The Same: The Nature of Grief provides a metaphysical perspective on death and loss, including the possibility of experiencing — and developing — a sense of ongoing connection with our loved one who has departed.
