Book Synopsis

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.
