WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR GRIEF

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.
