Elegantly weaving scholarly study with her own narrative, Dr. Dee encourages us not just to survive the grief experience, but to actually thrive as a result of doing the "hard work" of grief. Loss and grief affect every aspect of life - the way we think, the way we feel, and our physical, spiritual, and relational well-being. Learning to acknowledge and express the change in our lives, and to release the painful experience, is instrumental in re-creating life after loss.
