Publisher Marketing:
An inspiring guide that reimagines the stages of grief into five healing actions

There is no way to spin grief. It's hard. It's messy. It's destabilizing. And every single one of us has to go through it.

Author and Grief Coach Kate Doerge knows this too well. Over six years, she lost her father to heart failure and her mother in a car accident five days before Christmas before facing the hardest challenge for any parent-losing her sixteen-year-old daughter, Penny, to complications from a rare genetic condition.

After Penny's death, Kate knew she had a choice, she could lose herself to a grief so powerful she might not come back from it--or she could find another way through. Reimagining Grief is the result of that search.

Drawing from her own experience, the latest research, and conversations with others who have faced devastating loss, Kate offers five actions that can help ground you when you feel out of control, lift you when you're depleted, and help you process the pain of loss.

In this book, you'll learn:

  • Why there isn't one right way to grieve--and how to find your own path
  • Approaches to saying goodbye that honors both you and your loved one
  • The 5 Actions Through Grief -Connect with Others, Celebrate Your Loved Ones, Be Open to the Signs, Get Moving, and Turn Pain into Purpose-and how to use them to heal.
  • What post-traumatic growth really looks like
  • How to find joy again

These actions won't make grief vanish or disappear; everyone has to go through the difficult path that you are put on after losing someone you loved deeply. However, Reimagining Grief offers a different way forward, with light and healing in the midst of darkness.

This is the book Kate wishes she'd had. She wrote it for you.
