| Summary: | These essays trace significant developments in Attig's thinking through nearly 50 years in the discipline, including his web metaphor for the embodied, interdependent, soulful, spiritual, and resilient grieving self; his ground-breaking view of grieving as relearning how to live in a world changed profoundly by loss; and his view that the wisdom needed for effective grieving supports engaging with mysteries or challenges in life that none can change, control, or solve. The book is divided into five sections, beginning with an introduction to the author's applied philosophy of life with loss and grief. This is followed by sections on contemporary discussions about grieving, aspects of self and grieving, caregiving in death's shadows, and harvesting wisdom. |
