About this listen
The way we deal with grief in the Western world is fundamentally broken. This inspiring guide to living a life after death aims to change that.
Peyton Salvage suffered the death of a loved one at an early age and learned that the way we approach death as a society does nothing to serve those struggling to cope with losing someone dear to them.
Losing a loved one is one of the most traumatic and heartbreaking events in a person's life. And yet, as a society, we're uncomfortable with allowing people to grieve in the way most natural to them, leaving mourners feeling isolated and ashamed of their grief.
We tell them that everything happens for a reason and expect that to be enough. But that can't be right. How do you "get over" the loss of someone you loved? How do you move on like your love for them was nothing?
By addressing grief from the view of both the mourner and those who comfort them, this uplifting book offers a gentle, guiding hand to help those impacted by death heal and find meaning in life afterward.
Healing from Death: A Lifelong Journey with Grief and Loss makes no promises about you "moving on" or "getting over" your grief. Instead, this book seeks to help you grow and live with your grief in a healthy way that honors the love you had for those you've lost.

Grief is a reaction that happens when someone we love or care about dies or leaves. When this happens, a whole host of emotions might overwhelm you. Some of these emotions include feeling sad, angry, confused, or scared. Grief is part of our journey and human experience. To fight grief is to fight what’s natural. Instead, let grief guide you to be a more powerful being. This is why I have written this survivor’s manual. How to Deal With Loss, Grief, and Death is your guide to coping with the loss of a loved one and how to find the will to live again.

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.

Have you ever wondered "Why did I do that?" or "Why can't I just control my behavior?" Others may judge our reactions and think, "What's wrong with that person?" When questioning our emotions, it's easy to place the blame on ourselves; holding ourselves and those around us to an impossible standard. It's time we started asking a different question. Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”

On Death and Dying began as a theoretical book, an interdisciplinary study of our fear of death and our inevitable acceptance of it. It introduced the world to the now-famous five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. On Grief and Grieving applies these stages to the process of grieving and weaves together theory, inspiration, and practical advice, all based on Kübler-Ross' and Kessler's professional and personal experiences.

Story
Divorce is a lot like losing someone. It is the death of a marriage. It is a sheer and brutal act of abandonment. It is extremely personal. Even after the meanest separation or divorce that caught you off guard, you may achieve this level of self-acceptance and forgiveness. This doesn’t mean you deny what they did to you or run away from the pain. Instead, you allow yourself to experience it all—the guilt, shame, anger, and disappointment—and move through it. If that’s how you’re feeling right now, this book is for you.

Great advice that's cheaper than a therapy session
I'm not saying that we shouldn't go to therapy to deal with our own grief, trauma, or loss but I think this book is a good resource for someone who wants to get started on their healing journey. The book covers techniques on how we craft our own path to live a good life despite the loss we faced. I found chapter 3 quite fascinating as it covers how different culture deals with grief and love the gentleness of the author reminding readers that our journey to heal is unique to our own and that it's never a straight line. Thank you for the inspiration and words of wisdom!

Motivating guide to continue
My grandmas sister passed and it had been tough to cope, because I knew that my grandma and grandpa are in the same age range.
This book not only helped me detect some triggers and learn to cope with them for my loss of my great aunt, but I feel more prepared to handle the inevitable losses of loved ones in the future.

Much Needed!
I lost my father in June of 2020 to health issues associated with the type of food that causes diabetes, and before that, I lost bost sets of grandparents due to the same reason, I am only 27 years old and have gone through massive losses in my life and this book helps a lot with understanding the cycle and being more in arms with acceptance with the course of nature. I highly recommend this audiobook to any and everyone because death is inevitable and the sooner you can accept it the easier it will be to cope with when the situation arises. I am very thankful for this audiobook, and I will be recommending it to the rest of my family and friends!

A must have for someone struggling to cope with grief!
I lost my dad many years ago and still sometime struggle with the loss. There is a lot of information in this book like the five strategies of loss, cultural society of grief, what you can do when you are grieving, how to cope, taking care of your mental well being and techniques you can use. A well written book that you can go back and reference. Grief affects people differently. The sooner you can understand your feelings, the sooner you will be able to accept and live your life in peace. Triggers are very real. If you know someone or you yourself is struggling with grief, this book is a must have for you. I recommend you get your copy today.

Comforting and inspirational!
This is an informative and essential book in helping those dealing with grief and loss. Very comforting, especially when you don't have a network of support or when others don't understand and judge you. This was especially helpful for me after losing someone very close to me earlier this year. I would offer this book to friends and family going through grief. Pain and suffering are part of life, we just need to find balance and acceptance. Highly recommend!
