Anne grew up in an abusive home, leading to severe depression and a determination to do better as a mother. One of her sons wants a dog from the time he is a baby; Anne very much does not. For years she appeases him with creatures who live in cages and tanks, but on his tenth birthday she can no longer say no—and she proceeds to fall in love with their new four-legged family member, Mattie. Then Mattie dies a sudden and tragic death, and Anne feels herself begin to sink back into depression.

We live in a culture that suppresses our ability to truly feel our grief—deeply, safely, and on our own terms. But each person’s experience is as unique as the grief itself. Here, Camille Barton’s take on grief speaks directly to the ways that BIPOC and queer readers disproportionately experience unique constellations of loss.

The Heartbreak Hotel ist ein Refugium für Frauen mit gebrochenem Herzen. Ein Ort zum Innehalten, um zur Ruhe zu kommen, zum Heilen und Wachsen. Ein Ort, an dem die Hörerin das Gefühl hat, verstanden zu werden, unterstützt und umsorgt. Die meisten Frauen erleben mindestens einmal im Leben den Verlust einer geliebten Person – er trifft sie oft brutal, erschüttert sie in ihren Grundfesten, und es dauert häufig Monate, wenn nicht Jahre, bis sie wieder zu sich und einem stabilen Leben gefunden haben.

Der Verlust eines geliebten Menschen gleicht einem Sturz in ein bodenloses Loch: Ob es Sie selbst betrifft oder eine nahestehende Person, die erste Reaktion ist meist Hilflosigkeit. Doch tatsächlich lässt sich auch der Trauerprozess gesund und sinnstiftend gestalten und wie das selbst in schweren Momenten gelingt, zeigt Ihnen dieses Buch. Trauer ist unvermeidbar, Trauer ist intensiv, Trauer ist in jedem Fall einzigartig und trotzdem gilt: Der Trauerprozess – so individuell er auch gelebt und empfunden wird – folgt letztlich ähnlichen und gut erforschten Mustern.

Rarely does the question of death come up in discussions of nonmonogamy. But whether it's sudden or expected, nonmonogamous people must face death like anyone else—as well as its consequences on those left behind after a loved one is gone. As nonmonogamous people, how can we plan ahead for our own and our loved ones' deaths? How can we best navigate a funeral industry that may not understand our relationships, a legal system that's not set up to recognize our commitments, and a social world that can be unfriendly to grieving partners outside the monogamous model?

In stories of love and loss, of trauma and hope, told from care homes, living rooms, classrooms and kitchens, All the Lonely People is an intimate portrait of loneliness. Over countless cups of tea, psychologist Dr Sam Carr has collected hours of conversations with people young and old, including single parents, carers, teenagers and the bereaved, and found that while each of their stories is utterly unique, they are all born out of the same desire for human connection.

Now is Not the Time for Flowers is Stacey's unflinchingly beautiful and raw memoir that addresses the big conversations that imminent death dictates, boldly taking the reader on a journey through the full spectrum of our lives and their complexities. Told through vignettes of her own life and the death of her husband, Stacey offers a movingly honest, insightful and humorous account of modern womanhood through the lenses of love, desire, motherhood, death, grief, identity, personal growth and the challenges and questions that our lives force upon us.

Raised Catholic, she sang songs about Jesus as a child and lived in a house where nuns and priests were regular guests, yet she found herself questioning the faith of her family, examining the reasons none of it added up, and distancing herself from the God of Christianity. Despite her questions—or perhaps because of them—she made a career out of trying to understand God, pursuing a PhD in religion. But even as she taught college students about mystics, theologians, and others who wrestled with God, she was never able to embrace a faith of her own.

Vivimos la vida que queremos? ¿Hasta dónde estamos dispuestos a llegar para mantener la amistad y la lealtad? Imaginemos por un momento que nuestro mejor amigo nos pide que abandonemos todo lo que tenemos y le acompañemos en un viaje, que no deja de ser también una huida hacia adelante. Es lo que le pide Guzmán a su mejor amigo, Rodri, tras recibir la fatídica noticia de una enfermedad sin cura, que lo deje todo durante un año para acompañarle en el que será su último viaje.

Life is full of love, but it is also full of loss. Like paper cuts to the heart, every big and seemingly insignificant loss—the loss of friendships, faith, dreams, health, community, and everything in between—grieves us more than we think it will, and often more than we let on. Why? Because they matter. In this compassionate and deeply personal book, Rachel Marie Kang invites you to see and be seen in the midst of your sorrow, your suffering—your story.

As anyone with a chronic illness knows, hope can sometimes be hard to come by. For parents and caregivers of children with serious illness, there can be a real struggle to move beyond one's own grief, fear, and suffering to see what hope means for these kids.

Al centro di questo audiolibro c’è il rapporto della vita umana con l’esperienza traumatica della perdita. Cosa accade dentro di noi quando perdiamo chi abbiamo profondamente amato? Quale vuoto si spalanca? Quale lavoro ci attende per ritornare a vivere? E cosa avviene quando questo lavoro risulta impossibile e ci sentiamo persi insieme a chi abbiamo perduto? Il lavoro del lutto e la nostalgia sono due esempi di come possiamo restare vicini a ciò che abbiamo perduto senza però farci inghiottire dal dolore.

Conscious Grieving is a book for anyone seeking guidance and support after loss. Renowned grief therapist Claire Bidwell Smith combines her deeply personal experience of loss with her long career spent working with thousands of people to introduce a new approach to grief, one that promotes hope and even transformation.

Susan Lieu has long been searching for answers. About her family’s past and about her own future. Refugees from the Vietnam War, Susan’s family escaped to California in the 1980s after five failed attempts. Upon arrival, Susan’s mother was their savvy, charismatic North Star, setting up two successful nail salons and orchestrating every success—until Susan was eleven. That year, her mother died from a botched tummy tuck. After the funeral, no one was ever allowed to talk about her or what had happened.
