WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR GRIEF
ON RIGHT TIMING: A NOTE BEFORE WE GET STARTED
I devoured books on grief and loss when Matt first died. I hated most of
them. I
would flip to the back of a new book to see if the widowed author had
remarried.
If they had, I wouldn’t read the book—clearly, they did not understand
what it
was like to be me. I would get all excited reading the first few chapters of a
new
book on loss, only to hurl it away in disgust when subsequent chapters
started
talking about rebuilding my life and all the great things I might do as a
result of
this loss.
