by Anne Ancelin Schützenberger, Évelyne Bissone Jeufroy

La vie est faite de changements et de pertes de tous ordres dont nous devons faire le deuil : décès, rupture amoureuse, licenciement ou retraite, exil, déménagement... Souvent, nous n''avons ni l''énergie, ni la liberté d''esprit, ni le savoir-faire pour prendre des décisions positives. Nous passons alors notre temps à "ruminer". Surmonter son chagrin et réapprendre à vivre, retrouver une paix intérieure, une sérénité, donner un autre sens à sa vie : telle est la raison d''être de ce livre.Pour sortir du deuil, il est nécessaire, vital, de se ressourcer, de lâcher prise, de pardonner, d''accepter la perte. Pour cela, il existe certaines techniques. Toutes passent par un même chemin : se faire plaisir, bien s''entourer, reconstituer un stock de "vitamines" émotionnelles...

"Par ailleurs, rares sont ceux qui, dans notre entourage, nous acceptent triste. Ça dérange, ça incommode et ça lasse."

Grieving is a complicated process but we learn that through our life, that's the only thing we do. When we undergo important diseases, accident or surgeries. When we move out or in. When we lose something insignificant but loved or when we lose ourselves. Grief is what happens when things change in our lives and they will change, all the time, every time. It never gets easier. The important part is to find the strength to grief and go back to our life to live it at its fullest. Never deny your suffering even if our societies tend to do exactly that because grieving is kind of taboo. Grief and live tomorrow with a peaceful heart knowing you're ready to accept whatever life will throw at you. Even when you'll step back and stumble in the grief stage. Stay strong.
