Grief Is Love: Living with Loss
by Marisa Renee LeeA trusted grief expert shares advice on how to navigate the loss of a loved one in this incisive and compassionate guide: &“calm, lucid prose… humanizing exploration of coping with the life-changing tides of loss&” (Kirkus Reviews).In Grief is Love, author Marisa Renee Lee reveals that healing does not mean moving on after losing a loved one—healing means learning to acknowledge and create space for your grief. It is about learning to love the one you lost with the same depth, passion, joy, and commitment you did when they were alive, perhaps even more. She guides you through the pain of grief—whether you&’ve lost the person recently or long ago—and shows you what it looks like to honor your loss on your unique terms, and debunks the idea of a grief stages or timelines. Grief is Love is about making space for the transformation that a significant loss requires. In beautiful, compassionate prose, Lee elegantly offers wisdom about what it means to authentically and defiantly claim space for grief&’s complicated feelings and emotions. And Lee is no stranger to grief herself, she shares her journey after losing her mother, a pregnancy, and, most recently, a cousin to the COVID-19 pandemic. These losses transformed her life and led her to question what grief really is and what healing actually looks like. In this book, she also explores the unique impact of grief on Black people and reveals the key factors that proper healing requires: permission, care, feeling, grace and more. The transformation we each undergo after loss is the indelible imprint of the people we love on our lives, which is the true definition of legacy. At its core, Grief is Love explores what comes after death, and shows us that if we are able to own and honor what we&’ve lost, we can experience a beautiful and joyful life in the midst of grief.

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.

by Katarzyna A. MałeckaGrief Memoirs: Cultural, Supportive, and Therapeutic Significance bridges literary studies and psychology to evaluate contemporary grief memoirs for use by bereaved and non-bereaved individuals.

A Grief Observed (Faber Paperbacks Ser.)
by C. S. LewisWritten after his wife's tragic death as a way of surviving the "mad midnight moment," A Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis's honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. This work contains his concise, genuine reflections on that period: "Nothing will shake a man -- or at any rate a man like me -- out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself." This is a beautiful and unflinchingly homest record of how even a stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning in the universe, and how he can gradually regain his bearings.

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.
