Description

From one of the leading grief therapists, this compassionate and accessible guide to grieving offers a new framework for understanding and navigating loss. An intimate guide to grieving that offers hope and healing within loss from one of the nation’s top grief therapists. Conscious Grieving is a book for anyone seeking guidance and support after loss. Renowned grief therapist Claire Bidwell Smith combines her deeply personal experience of loss with her long career spent working with thousands of people to introduce a new approach to grief, one that promotes hope and even transformation. What does it mean to grieve consciously? Most of the time, when we lose someone we love, it feels like grief is just happening to us. We feel out of control, and overwhelmed. Claire reminds us that while loss is something that inevitably happens to all of us, how we choose to grieve is up to us. When we can consciously engage with our grief, rather than avoiding it, we can access profound pathways to healing. Presented in a series of thoughtful, brief vignettes that don’t overwhelm the reader, Conscious Grieving offers a new framework for each stage of grief: Entering, Engaging, Surrendering, and Transforming. Entering – staying present and taking care of ourselves as we navigate the shock and upheaval of a new loss. Engaging – navigating that first year after a loss by staying in tune with our needs as more complicated feelings of depression, guilt or anger surface. Surrendering – facing the changes to our identity and who we are becoming in the face of loss. Transforming – through ritual, honor, hope, and grace, and learning to carry our grief with intention so that we can continue to grow, heal, and thrive. Grief asks a lot from us. But the ability to grieve is a birthright. We grieve throughout our lifetimes. We grieve the deaths of loved ones yes, but also moves, divorce, illness, injustice, time lost, changes in the world and healing from these losses requires that we evaluate everything we ever considered meaningful. Healing means making our lives worth the pain we endure when we lose someone we love. And transforming through grief is an opportunity afforded to all. Read more

  • Convenient and valuable.
Full disclosure, I haven't finished this book yet, but I found great value and takeaways right from the start. I enjoyed the shorter formatting. It made squeezing things in when I was down, or busy, convenient. I found the journal suggestions and other engagements helpful for facilitating more productive thinking. I used my copy more like a workbook and found that I usually had enough space to jot notes or respond to a prompt. Greif isn't just mourning the loss of our loved ones. If you've had any type of loss, a job, pet, partner, you name it, you've probably experienced some tough things that these pages may help with. ... show more

  • Helped relieve my guilt.
My husband died a year ago this last February. I bought or looked at several "grief" books. Most were either tiresome or boring or nice enough, but this one was excellent and I found it very comforting. It pretty much told you to do whatever you needed to that would help you get through. I was writing a lot about our past together but felt guilty to spend so much time "delving into the past," but the author suggested writing a book about your loved one, which greatly relieved my guilt and helped me get through. It's a book I feel I can turn to like an old friend if I need her again. I'm grateful for her kindness. ... show more

  • Great read for grieving
I snagged this book immediately after my grandma's passing, and am impressed with the easy read it offers and makes it so much easier to read due to being able to pick it up and set it down for when needed again.

  • Very Helpful Book for Readers and Grievers
This has been a personally very useful for me and my family. I have a copy out, for my use. I have given a copy to family and friends.

  • An easy to read and "down to earth" book that can benefit everyone.
This book is surprisingly easy to read and understand. I agree with another reviewer who suggested that we all should have this in our "tool kit". I have already given my first book away and ordered another. ( My friend was trying to help a woman dealing with the loss of a parent.) No need to push this book on someone immediately after a death but the insight and ideas in this book may gently guide you as you offer compassionate support. You will know when your friend is ready to read the book. Thank you author, publisher and Amazon prime for getting this book to me in such a timely manner. ... show more
