Deborah Morris Coryell has worked in the health field developing wellness programs since 1974. She founded the Wellness Education Department for Canyon Ranch Spa Resorts as well as for the Pritikin Longevity Center. She is a visiting faculty member for Dr. Andrew Weil’s program in Integrative Medicine and is cofounder and executive director of the Shiva Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the education and support of those dealing with loss and death, located in San Luis Obispo, California.
In Good Grief: Healing Through the Shadow of Loss, Deborah Morris Coryell describes grief as the experience of not having anywhere to place our love. She reminds us that all losses must be grieved, and that paying attention to even the most minute experience of loss can help us to be more in tune with ourselves, allowing us to once again join the rhythm of life from which we have become disconnected.
