Beware of Grief

About this book

In the depths of each of us there is an unfinished story, and perhaps the wreckage of miserable memories the days never sufficed to heap the dust of oblivion upon. Has grief ever knocked at your door? Fear not... this book is no mere pages but a promise that grief will not dwell inside you long. We need no doctors for every ailment of our hearts, for "the disease of the soul has no physician but you." Grief — that silent virus ravaging the smile, the passion, and the dreams — comes to rob the soul of merriment and make us like the dead among the living. It may turn our bodies into a burden and distort our perception of time until the hands of happiness stop. "Beware of Grief" is an individual journey, where no friend or kin can heal your pains completely; true healing springs from within you. It is an invitation to bold confrontation and to shun the escape of sleep, which is no more than a topical anesthetic. It is a guide to building "a homeland for grief" inside you — not to surrender to it, but to be ready to receive it and then usher it out. The book addresses those silent mechanisms by which grief settles in the body and mind, and arms you with the practical resolve — breathing, remembrance, action, and honest conversation with the self — that turns grief from a permanent resident into a passing guest that leaves the house of the soul cleaner than it found it.
