About this audiobook
A warm and wise companion for anyone facing grief and sorrow
All of us are experiencing loss. Some of us lose a spouse, or a child, our parents, a beloved pet, a dear friend, or neighbor. In the pandemic, we have lost tens of thousands of lives in the United States and around the world. Many of us have lost our livelihoods. All of us have lost our familiar daily routines and textures of work, family, and community. And the losses are not over.
Opening to Grief is a companion to this tender time. With the demeanor and tone of a loving friend, the authors offer an invitation to grieve fully, to turn toward your emotions and experiences however they arise, and to choose a path that is healing for you.
Opening to Grief explores the deep truth that grief and love are richly intertwined. Because we love, we grieve. And when we fully feel our sorrow, we open to loving ourselves and other beings more deeply.
