Everyone will have a different blindside. For some it may be a death. Or an accident. A diagnosis. For others, a divorce, or a bad break-up. What is the same in every blindside? It's that no one sees it coming. When we are blindsided, we are challenged to still show up and play the game of life, even when we are feeling like we are not sure that we can. When we have suffered loss, we never reach closure. It doesn't ever end. How do we keep our humanity in the face of terrible circumstances? How do we keep caring beyond events that break our hearts? It's not easy, but it is possible. And I am going to show you how. "This is a survival guide for people in survival mode - those blindsided by grief. I was blindsided by the quality of the book. From the first page I reconnected with my own traumas and anxieties of this last decade and read the advice and worked through Rowe's exercises with ever-increasing interest. She isn't just an expert. She's a grief survivor, a person who is sharing what worked for her in the darkest hours, as well as the traps she fell into, that most of us fall into. It's this lived experience that gives the book emotional heart. But it's Rowe's years of studying and practicing grief counselling that gives the book it's intellectual and practical heft. Stories are such a big part of this book. The way story connects to emotion. And Emily herself is the consummate storyteller. For many people, at grief's precipice, this book can be a lifeboat. For those of us who know grief as a long term, nagging, constant companion, it made me think about how I'm living life, for who I'm living life, it made me do an emotional audit, and I'm better for it. Highly recommended!"
