Hopkinson, E: It's Your Loss

10 chapters focus on each step of the journey through loss, using personal experiences, practical suggestions and professional advice to illustrate the different ways people can navigate their own journey through different kinds of loss.

Written by two women who were bereaved at a young age It's Your Loss explores different approaches to grieving, to help navigate any loss.



Any kind of loss - whether the death of a loved one, breakdown of a relationship, or loss of your job - can be devastatingly painful, with far-reaching effects. Even subtle losses can trigger a sense of grief. But, loss is a natural part of life, one we all go through, and one that can feel like the world is ending. By treading the path through your loss and taking time to sit with it, look at it and ultimately understand your reaction to it, the authors hope that you'll find ways to sit comfortably in your new normal.

Emma Hopkinson and Robyn Donaldson believe that there is no right or wrong way to navigate loss, and explore their natural inclination to either keep their feelings in (Emma) or let them all out (Robyn), while offering key things they learned along the way. Expert commentary from psychologist Dr Sheetal Dandgey anchors their differing viewpoints in scientific fact.

This book is a how-to for loss. A little walk through the moments, feelings and barriers you might encounter, whoever you are and whatever you lost. From understanding what kind of griever you are to forging your new path in life, it aims to start a conversation you'll want to keep having.
