Beskrivning

The monumental sense of dislocation we experience after losing a loved one can be life-altering. There is no script for grieving--each individual passes through their own phases of mourning. In this personal narrative, psychologist Beatriz Dujovne documents how she grieved the loss of her husband and sought therapy during an extended stay in her hometown of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Recounting her healing process day-to-day, from shock through recovery, this book traces her navigation of the uncertainty and devastation that often engulfs those who have suffered profound loss.

Recensioner i media

“Beatriz paints a portrait of an analyzed grief—but not in the ways you might think. This book isn’t about dissecting grief itself in order to move beyond it. Rather, it’s a love story. One about a husband and wife, yes. Even more, it’s a love story between one’s former self and the self that is yet to come.”—Megan Devine, author of It’s OK That You're Not OK: Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn't Understand
