You wake up with a soul ache. The silence is deafening. You look over and they’re still not there. The plump pillow and smooth covers make the bed, and your life, feel even more empty. You swallow the lump in your throat and decide to face another day.
Everyone tells you it’s grief, and that it will get better. But it’s been weeks, months, maybe even years, and it’s not better. The pain is dull. The days are monotonous. They said you’d have to grieve. But none of them said how. No road map. No mile markers. No manual.

What is this grief? Who even defines the word for you? Is it just a feeling of confusion and loneliness and bewilderment and fatigue? They say it’s a PROCESS that must be completed. But no one’s told you exactly what that process is. HOW DO YOU GRIEVE? WHAT DO YOU DO TO GRIEVE?
This book is the answer. This is the manual.
