Unfuck Your Grief: Using Science to Heal Yourself and Support Others

by Dr. Faith G. Harper

When we lose someone or something close to us—a loved person or animal, a relationship, our health, our dream, our idea of who we are—it hurts. A lot. Grief is both what we experience and how we heal. Dr. Faith Harper, bestselling author of books like Unfuck Your Brain and Unfuck Your Boundaries brings us a counseling and neuroscience perspective on grieving. She explains what is actually happening in our brains and bodies and what we need in order to allow it to happen fully. She also shows us how to identify and treat traumatic grief, the variety of grieving processes we experience, what grief looks like in the long term, when to get professional support, and how to ask the people in our lives for what we need (and to give ourselves the care we need as well). You'll also find solid advice on how (and how not!) to support a grieving person in your life. Wise, a little crass, and gently funny.

I don't think I realized how little this wound of mine healed until listening to this book!
It gave me a much kinder perspective about myself back at the worst time in my life,
and just...I'm really glad I got this audiobook!

The book started good but there was not enough material about grief and different forms of grief. I felt like the book just started to get deeper into the topic and then the book ended
