A deeply human guide for anyone experiencing grief and loss.

This book rejects the rigid pressures of conventional grief psychology, illuminating powerful truths: relationships and emotional connections don't end at death. There's no fixed timeline for moving on. And many of the guidelines we've been taught around grief are rooted more in self-help myth than in embodied healing wisdom.

Love doesn't disappear when the one you love dies.

Drawing on decades of professional and personal experience with grief, counselor and professor Lorraine Hedtke offers a layered, relational approach to grief that helps you continue your bond with your loved one--gently, naturally, and with profound emotional honesty. Through client stories, practical tools, and powerful rituals, Love in the Face of Grief guides you into a transformative relationship with loss. You'll learn how to:

  • Navigate the complex and sometimes contradictory emotions of grief--like despair, anger, relief, longing, guilt, and resentment--without shame
  • Explore rituals for deepening your relationship with your loved one who's passed
  • Draw on the stories of the dead as sources of wisdom and active guidance--not just reminiscence
  • Honor and listen to the way they show up posthumously, in dreams, symbols, memories, and intuition
  • Use grief practices to access strength, resilience, legacy, and purpose
  • Define an active role in your life for your deceased loved one
