How to Survive the First Year Without Your Mom or Dad: Coping With Guilt, Regret, Sudden Loss, Friends Who Say the Wrong Thing, and Finding Joy AgainBy Imad Muratspahic
Length3h 38m
About this audiobook
Your mom or dad died, and the world kept going. The cashier still asks about your weekend. Friends sent a heart emoji and went quiet. You can't remember why you walked into the kitchen, you replay the last conversation in the middle of the night, and underneath it all is a question you are almost afraid to ask: how do people actually survive this, and will I ever feel happy again? Grief After Losing a Parent is a warm, honest and practical companion for adults getting through the first year after a mother's or father's death, whether it came suddenly or after a long illness. It explains what grief does to your brain, body and sleep, gives you words for the guilt and regret, scripts for the people who say the wrong thing, and simple plans for the days you dread, so you can keep functioning while you grieve. This is not an estate-settlement manual, a hospice guide, a book about losing a spouse, a clinical textbook or a sermon. It starts on the day your parent dies and walks with you through the first year and beyond, with checklists and scripts you can use the same day you read them. Inside, you'll learn: You don't have to be over it to live well again.
