Eventually you understand that while your grief is never " over," it is reconciled. It is an integrated part of your life story. Your love is not " over," either, of course. You feel it in the present just as much as you did in the past. So after your time of deep grief has passed, how do you continue to love and honor the special person who died even as you fully live your own remaining precious days here on earth? In response to this common challenge, this book by one of the world' s most beloved grief counselors proposes a way of being Dr. Wolfelt calls " cherishing." To cherish means to protect and care for lovingly, and to hold dear.
The mindset, suggestions, and practices in this resource will help you build cherishing into your daily routines. They will also assist you in making the most of situations in which mourners often feel torn- both happy and sad- such as holidays, anniversaries, weddings, and other celebrations and life transitions. You can live fully while still loving and honoring those who' ve died. This book will help see how.
