Finding a Way to Live After Loss

Grief is a path we can all expect to walk one day, when we lose someone we love, and life suddenly looks different. But how long does grieving take? When can we expect to feel 'normal' again? And should we? 
 
In The AfterGrief, New York Times bestselling author Edelman explains that loss isn't something we can simply get over or move beyond. Instead, she draws on her own experience of bereavement, as well as interviews with dozens of other people who have lost someone dear, to answer how we can learn to live with and accept grief.
