Lists to Help You Through Any Loss
By Eleanor Haley and Litsa Williams
You can find out more about the book here and some info about the authors here.
Checkout the What's Your Grief website too.
Put simply, the website is all about grief. This website is a gem!
Here's a litte extract from the Introduction of the book (page 9):
"Regardless of the type of loss you've experienced, only you know the extent of your pain and struggle.
Your grief is a distinct and subjective experience influenced by many factors. Here are just a few:
Grief is a reflection of you and your relationship with who or what has been lost.
Loss often sets off a domino effect of subsequent losses. So you're likely grieving a web of interconnected losses.
We all experience hardship, stress, and emotion differently.
There is no one right way to grieve, there isn't a standard timeline, and there are many (many, many) ways to cope."
In Part One of the book, myths and misconceptions about grief are discussed. You even get to complete a true or false quiz about grief myths.
The authors use various types of lists to distil the most important information in a way that is easy to understand and apply in real life.
Some of the lists used include to-do lists, not-to-do lists, informational lists, bucket lists, lists completed by the authors, and lists to be completed by you, the reader.
I've only just started reading this book to help me through the recent loss of my soulmate.
I highly recommend it!

"Back in Los Angeles Corita and Magdalen were busy transforming the Immaculate Heart College Art Department into a lively centre of art and design.
There she would teach her students nothing is a mistake, there's no win and no fail. There's only make. She would suggest things like draw self-portraits with a stick.
As an Art teacher Corita was serious about play. She believed the best work is done when play and work are one. She even created a new word. PLORK."
