Produktbeschreibung

How to process and embrace your grief when it threatens to overwhelm you... In life, there are times when you experience the highest of highs, moments of sheer joy and bliss, where all feels right with the world. But like two sides of the same coin, there are also inevitable times of despair and grief. Love and loss. One cannot exist without the other. When you love something, you open up your heart to the risk of being hurt -- but the risk is worth the reward. Losing what's important to you is a devastating blow. Whether you're grieving a person, pet, relationship, or something else entirely, your feelings are human and completely valid. It can feel like nobody understands what you're going through, and it's true that each person's grief is a totally unique experience. But you're not alone. Although it may feel like your world has ended, there is still a life ahead of you. Even when you feel you can't go on, you'll surprise yourself with your inner strength. Processing your emotions in the aftermath of a loss is a process that has no timeline. It can feel as though you're left totally adrift, with no guidance on where to begin the healing process. So what can you do? Opening yourself up to the possibility of healing and taking those first small steps forward marks the beginning of your journey.

Autorenporträt

Erin West is an established artist, entrepreneur, and mental health activist, and the author of Questions on Grief and Loss and The Cards You're Dealt.

With a background in art therapy, Erin's work is informed by her hands-on experience of helping patients to heal and grow through the use of art. Her writing deals with healing from loss, self-development, and transformation, and her honest and open style invites trust and a feeling of safety.

Loss first touched Erin's life in her late teens, and her passion for helping others to find a path out of the darkness is clear in every sentence she writes. She is a firm believer that it's possible for everyone to find meaning after loss and transform their lives no matter what they've been through.

Erin draws inspiration from the human spirit, aiming to show readers how to find the strength and courage they already possess, and guide themselves through the painful journey of healing. Her belief in human resilience is both encouraging and inspirational, and her words light a path towards transformation.

Having fought her way through her own story of sadness, Erin now seeks joy in every facet of life. She lives with her husband and two children, with whom she finds laughter and joy every day. She can often be found dancing, sea swimming, and horse riding, and is driven by her desire to help others find their own pathway to happiness -- no matter what that looks like.
