Chicken soup for the soul Grieving, loss and healing : 101 stories of comfort and moving forward

Book - 2022

These 101 inspirational, compassionate, and empowering stories will help you cope with loss, regain your strength, and find joy in life again. You deserve loving support in your time of need, because it hurts--a lot. It helps to read stories from other people who have been through the same thing and who are passing on their advice and best tips. Losing a loved one, whether a child, a spouse, a parent or grandparent, a sibling, a friend, a pet... it's a process you have to work through. The same goes for losing the future you thought you had due to chronic illness. And with these 101 stories you'll find people just like you sharing what worked for them and helped them continue living, loving, and even laughing. You don't have ...to feel alone. Think of this as your portable support group, with 101 new friends who care about your situation and understand what you're going through.
