Let’s lift the lid on grief, one conversation at a time

At 17, Rachel Pope lost her dad (age 47) to cancer, and eight years later, her eldest brother in a tragic car accident. Little did she know that her grief journey would come full circle with the death of her husband, at the same age and from the same cancer as her dad. Their children were six and four years old.

Why do we have such a hard time talking about grief and what can we do, as a society, to cope better, in a more positive and compassionate way?

As a grieving person, how do we make sense of our new life, post-loss, in a culture that expects us to "move on"?

Do you feel "stuck" in your grief?

In this book, Rachel Pope dives into those important conversations, through her own personal stories, experiences, and 25 years of facing grief head-on. She explores gracefully:

• The art of true gratitude, and how this can have a profound impact on your daily emotions dealing with grief
• The many gifts that can be embraced on your grief journey and how, you too, can turn them into your very own superpowers
• How to gain back joy, adventure, and purpose in your life after loss
• The butterfly effect of recognizing and embracing these gifts from grief, and creating a life of wholehearted living
• And also shares a BONUS chapter on how to help a grieving friend or family member, and make space for your own personal healing
