Opening to Grief: Finding Your Way from Loss to Peace by Marnie Crawford Samuelson, Claire B. Willis
4.0
A lot of times when I’m reading books about grief, I have to remind myself to hear the message and not disregard the messenger. What I mean by that is that in this book there was several times that the author gave suggestions of how to deal with different parts of grief: one of those instances was to look at a time where you felt free looking at pictures when you were a toddler. Unfortunately, I am a who lost everything that I lost everything that I owned, including pictures of me prior to the age of 15.
So while reading that part of the book I had to just say to myself look at pictures when you felt joyous to get through the text. I like how the author talked about complicated grief, specifically complicated grief when it has to deal with a parent I wrote down so many things that I want to constantly remind myself about my grief, and I love how the author said that your grief will take the time it needs to take Often times I feel like I need to quickly get over the death of my mother. This book reminded me that I don’t do that.
