Hope Edelman AfterGrief
Finding Your Way Along the Long Arc of Loss Because of the common but false assumption that grief should be time-limited, many of us believe we're grieving "wrong" when sadness resurfaces months or even years after a loss. The AfterGrief explains that the death of a loved one isn't something most of us get over, get past, put down, or move beyond. Grief is not an emotion to pass through on the way to "feeling better." Instead, grief is in constant motion; it is tidal, easily and often reactivated by memories and events and is re-triggered as we experience life transitions, anniversaries, and other losses. This book helps you cope.

Susan Cain Bittersweet
How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole Bittersweets is a feeling, a tendency toward states of longing, poignancy, and sorrow; an acute awareness of passing time; and a curiously piercing joy at the beauty of the world. It recognizes that light and dark, birth and death - bitter and sweet - are forever paired. If you've ever wondered why you like sad music, if you find comfort or inspiration in a rainy day, if you react intensely to music, art, nature, and beauty, then you probably identify with the bittersweet state of mind. Susan Cain mixes research, storytelling, and memoir to explore why we experience sorrow and longing, and how embracing the bittersweet feelings at the heart of life is the true path to creativity, connection, and transcendence.
