“An honest, practical, as well as emotional guide to working through the processing of mourning” (Vogue.com), Grief Works is a lifeline for all of us dealing with loss and a handbook to help others—from the “expected” death of a parent to the sudden and unexpected death of a child or spouse. Death affects us all. Yet it is still the last taboo in our society, and grief is still profoundly misunderstood. Julia Samuel, a grief psychotherapist, has spent twenty-five years working with the bereaved and understanding the full repercussions of loss. In Grief Works, Samuel shares case studies from those who have experienced great love and great loss—and survived. People need to understand that grief is a process that has to be worked through, and Samuel shows if we do the work, we can begin to heal. “As a guide for the newly grieving, Grief Works succeeds on many levels, and the author’s compassionate storytelling skills provide even broader appeal…and consistently hit an authentically inspiring note” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). “Illuminating” (The New York Times), intimate, warm, and helpful, Samuel is a caring and deeply experienced guide through the shadowy and mutable land of grief, and her book is as invaluable to those who are grieving as it is to those around them. She adroitly unpacks the psychological tangles of grief in a voice that is compassionate, grounded, real, and observant of those in mourning. Divided into case histories grouped by who has died—a partner, a parent, a sibling, a child, as well section dealing with terminal illness and suicide—Grief Works shows us how to live and learn from great loss. This important book is “essential for anyone who has ever experienced grief or wanted to comfort a bereaved friend” (Helen Fielding, author of Bridget Jones’s Diary).

Have you suffered loss in your life? Have you lost a loved one to death, divorce, incarceration or a break up? Have you experienced some other devastating trauma in your life, such as a global pandemic, rape, abandonment, or addictions, and now you're the one feeling lost? Having problems facing your new life after loss, a life you didn't ask for? If you answered yes to any of these questions, know you are not alone and help is available to you. In this book, Dr. Cunningham opens a conversation about overcoming grief, depression, and rejection through a memoir of her life transitions. Illuminated by her journey and those of her many clients, this book explores how the gross misconception of griefwork impacts our mental and emotional capacity to thrive in life. She heralds that unresolved grief doesn't mysteriously disappear. It lays dormant in our inner being, waiting to erupt, oftentimes causing collateral damage to others. From this book, you will receive recovery tools to unveil, excavate, and heal hidden hurt. Allow this book to serve as a resource and source of courage to take the plunge and heal, for real. If you submit to your griefwork, you will walk away with a sense of being healed from the inside out.
