We all grieve. From the moment we are born into this cold, loud, bright world, we experience change and loss that can often threaten to overwhelm us, but – when managed well – can help mould us into our strongest, most powerful selves. Grief is not only about death: it is part of our everyday lives. We are all grieving something. We grieve when our life changes – when meaningful relationships end, when we move house, change schools or jobs, and when our sense of identity and reality are under threat. We also grieve on a larger level – for a lost way of life and for our planet, particularly in these times of climate crisis, pandemic, fast-moving technology, misinformation and societal division. Grief can even be found in joy and is one of the most universal shared emotions, connecting people across the world in an act of love. In this surprisingly uplifting book, acclaimed grief therapist Dipti Tait draws on her own professional and personal experiences, her clients' stories and the neuroscience behind our emotions to redefine grief for our fast-paced lives and this sometimes alarming yet wonderful world we live in.

Coping with loss on an unimaginable scale.All things pass in time. Empires crumble. Stars go super-nova. Dreams fade. Species go extinct. Worlds end. And now it's Earth's turn. With humanity facing an inevitable and unavoidable fate, how will it spend its last hours? Will we rage, rage, rage against the dying of the light, or will we find a final peace in the acceptance of our ultimate mortality? Does it matter, in a world without a tomorrow, where there are no consequences for our actions? Grief is an apocalyptic short story collection that examines the sociology of loss. In "Denial," the thin blue line strains against a city overcome with nihilistic fury. In "Anger," kidnappers have found someone they can blame. In "Bargaining," a desperate woman has found a charismatic preacher who can promise salvation. In "Depression," the last newscaster broadcasting the final countdown struggles with whether or not to bother. In "Acceptance," revelers throw one last farewell party for the human race.

The beloved New Thought leader and author of You Can Heal Your Life offers hope and wisdom to readers navigating mental health issues, difficult relationships, and more This book is a collection of letters I’ve received and answered over the years from people all over the world. The letters express deep concerns about 20 different topics—including addictions, disease, family relationships, the inner child, and parenting, just to name a few. Almost all of the people who have written to me have wanted to change themselves—and their world—in some way. In my replies, I’ve tried to be the catalyst that helps these individuals accomplish their goals. I think of myself as a stepping-stone on a pathway of self-discovery. Perhaps you will see some aspect of yourself in these pages. It is my belief that by reading about other people’s challenges and aspirations, we can see ourselves and our own problems in different ways. Sometimes we can use what we learn from others to make changes in our own lives. I hope this book will allow you to realize that you, too, have the strength within to change, and to find solutions on your own—that is, to seek the answers that are within you. —Louise L. Hay
