The Grief Journal
by Wisnu Meier Lori Russell-ChapinThis unique workbook combines remembrance, grief work and self-discovery to give our loss an important meaning. The authors invite readers to utilize anamnesis, a Greek term defined as remembering and bringing the past into the present. When we create meaning and allow the past to come into our present, we can choose specific memories that we want to bring forward to enrich our present. By selecting certain values, lessons and traditions to continue, we take control of our past and present. Our journey through grief is complete when we are able to gain meaning from our loss, keeping our loved one’s memories alive and looking forward to a new path of our own. This does not mean that we will never shed any tears again from this point on; rather, we are able to go through poignant moments stemming from our grief with an understanding of its meaning and significance in our present lives. We become aware that the loss is so much a part of our lives; we accept it and have grown because of it.

The Grieving Body: How the Stress of Loss Can Be an Opportunity for Healing
by Mary-Frances O'ConnorThe follow-up to celebrated grief expert, neuroscientist, and psychologist Dr. Mary-Frances O’Connor’s The Grieving Brain focuses on the impact of grief—and life’s other major stressors—on the human body. Coping with death and grief is one of the most painful human experiences. While we can speak to the psychological and emotional ramifications of loss and sorrow, we often overlook its impact on our physical bodies. Dr. Mary-Frances O’Connor specializes in the study of grief, and in The Grieving Body she shares vital scientific research, revealing imperative new insights on its profound physiological impact. As she did in The Grieving Brain, O’Connor combines illuminating studies and personal stories to explore the toll loss takes on our cardiovascular, endocrine, and immune systems and the larger implications for our long-term well-being.The Grieving Body addresses questions about how bereavement affects us, such as:Can we die of a broken heart?What happens in our bodies when we’re grieving?How do our coping behaviors affect our physical health?What is the cognitive impact of grief?Why are we more prone to illness during times of enormous stress?and moreResearch-backed, warm, and empathetic, The Grieving Body is an essential, hopeful read for those experiencing loss as well as their supportive friends and family.The Grieving Body is illustrated with black-and-white charts and graphs.
The Grieving Brain: The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Love and Loss
by Mary-Frances O'ConnorA renowned grief expert and neuroscientist shares groundbreaking discoveries about what happens in our brain when we grieve, providing a new paradigm for understanding love, loss, and learning.For as long as humans have existed, we have struggled when a loved one dies. Poets and playwrights have written about the dark cloak of grief, the deep yearning, how devastating heartache feels. But until now, we have had little scientific perspective on this universal experience. In The Grieving Brain, neuroscientist and psychologist Mary-Frances O’Connor, PhD, gives us a fascinating new window into one of the hallmark experiences of being human. O’Connor has devoted decades to researching the effects of grief on the brain, and in this book, she makes cutting-edge neuroscience accessible through her contagious enthusiasm, and guides us through how we encode love and grief. With love, our neurons help us form attachments to others; but, with loss, our brain must come to terms with where our loved ones went, or how to imagine a future that encompasses their absence. Based on O’Connor’s own trailblazing neuroimaging work, research in the field, and her real-life stories, The Grieving Brain does what the best popular science books do, combining storytelling, accessible science, and practical knowledge that will help us better understand what happens when we grieve and how to navigate loss with more ease and grace.

Garski Justine MastinFor readers of No Cure for Being Human and Simple Self-Care for Therapists, a witty and compassionate field guide to the 10 realms of grief--and how to navigate them yourself and with clients.

They break down 10 realms of grief that are critical to understand and work with today, but likely weren&’t taught to you in therapy school. Each chapter includes:Grieving tools that can be adapted for both client and therapistTips for supervisors and superviseesSkills for maintaining healthy outside-the-office relationshipsSupport for current therapy students (and therapists new to the field)Advice on how to hold space and work with clients who have the same questions—and are navigating the same issues—as youMeditations on love, life, death, and connectionGarski and Mastin also share helpful guidance around working with clients whose social or political beliefs differ from yours; when therapeutic self-disclosure makes sense; honoring the information that countertransference is trying to give you; and how to sit with (or step away from) triggers in your work.With humor, compassion, irreverence, and more than a little whimsy, The Grieving Therapist shows you how to show up for yourself, and your clients--in your own full humanity, amidst it all.

The Growing Season: How I Built a New Life--and Saved an American Farm
by Sarah Frey&“A gutsy success story&” (The New York Times Book Review) about one tenacious woman&’s journey to escape rural poverty and create a billion-dollar farming business—without ever leaving the land she loves The youngest of her parents&’ combined twenty-one children, Sarah Frey grew up on a struggling farm in southern Illinois, often having to grow, catch, or hunt her own dinner alongside her brothers. She spent much of her early childhood dreaming of running away to the big city—or really anywhere with central heating. At fifteen, she moved out of her family home and started her own fresh produce delivery business with nothing more than an old pickup truck.Two years later, when the family farm faced inevitable foreclosure, Frey gave up on her dreams of escape, took over the farm, and created her own produce company. Refusing to play by traditional rules, at seventeen she began talking her way into suit-filled boardrooms, making deals with the nation&’s largest retailers. Her early negotiations became so legendary that Harvard Business School published some of her deals as case studies, which have turned out to be favorites among its students. Today, her family-operated company, Frey Farms, has become one of America&’s largest fresh produce growers and shippers, with farmland spread across seven states. Thanks to the millions of melons and pumpkins she sells annually, Frey has been dubbed &“America&’s Pumpkin Queen&” by the national press. The Growing Season tells the inspiring story of how a scrappy rural childhood gave Frey the grit and resiliency to take risks that paid off in unexpected ways. Rather than leaving her community, she found adventure and opportunity in one of the most forgotten parts of our country. With fearlessness and creativity, she literally dug her destiny out of the dirt.
