Losing a spouse is a devastating experience. Our friend, our partner, our soul mate is now gone and we are lost. It feels as if a part of us has died as well. In my practice, helping individuals deal with the loss of their partner was a common occurrence. Young or old, surviving spouses had an equally difficult time adjusting to this reality.

Older couples had usually talked about losing one another and had some inkling of how this would affect them. Younger individuals were rarely prepared unless their deceased loved one was involved in some dangerous kind of occupation. In a few cases, couples came to see me when one of them had recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had only months to live.

In my family, my dad lost our mother when she turned 75. They had over 50 years of marriage together, during which her health had often been in question. We had all been forewarned of this eventuality. Despite that, my father went through a rough few years after her passing. He was hurt and angry and showed his feelings in extreme ways. He withdrew from his usual activities and grew sullen. We, his children spent as much time as possible with him. Because there were six of us, he usually had someone around to talk to.

One of my younger sisters lost her husband in 2004. He died of cancer at age 55. She was 48 at the time and they had been married for 27 years. They had one daughter, aged 25. This was a devastating blow for my sister and my niece. When the diagnosis came he was given 6 months to live. My sister nursed him during those months as his health steadily declined. Again, we siblings rallied to her side and spent as much time supporting her as possible.

After her husband passed, my sister went into a depression and took a leave of absence from her workplace. At my insistence, she eventually joined a grief group and sought out a therapist in her area. She had so much of her life invested in her husband, she could barely function after losing him. She eventually returned to work on a part-time basis, always hoping she could increase her hours to full-time. Recently she finally decided to accept early retirement and that’s when her recovery really began. Today she is dating again, working part-time and enjoying her daughter and son-in-law who married after her husband passed. She was also given a copy of "How to Cope with Grief and Loss" which she claims was helpful in her recovery.

I wrote "How to Cope with Grief and Loss" as a response to the various types of losses with which people are being confronted. Addressing the loss of a spouse at a young age is particularly poignant. At the core of every experience of loss is the emotional component which is often neglected in most approaches. This book addresses that component directly and with the utmost respect and sympathy. Here's what one reader has to say.

My Favorite Book on the Grieving Process

"I have read several books on grief and loss and I can safely say that "How to Cope with Grief and Loss" has been my number one source of consolation.  This book is easy to read and struck many chords for me.  In fact, I saw myself in so many of the stories, I felt the book had been written just for me."
Mrs. A. Richard, Ontario Canada - Lost her Husband.

"How to Cope with Grief and Loss - Support, Guidance and Direction for Your Healing Journey" answers all of your questions about Grieving a Spouse and more"

This Innovative Audio-Ebook has already helped many individuals grieving a spouse and I know it can help YOU!

Here's what you need to know about me . . .

• I have a PhD in Counseling Psychology, along with an M.A. and B.A. in Psychology for a total of 9 years of University training.
• I have 25 years experience as a practicing therapist, helping individuals and families deal with all kinds of losses, including the loss of a husband, wife or partner through illness accident and suicide.
• My grief podcasts, articles and radio show interviews are regularly featured on Self-Growth.com, EzineArticles.com, Holistic Junction.com, Helium.com, ArticleBase.com, LearnOutLoud.com, GoArticles.com, BlogTalkRadio.com, Live365Radio.com, AchieveRadio.com and The Personal Growth Advisor.com, to name but a few.
• I have appeared on numerous regional and national television programs to answer questions regarding grief and loss recovery.

Although there appears to be some major differences in their adaptation to loss, my father and sister truly struggled with their grief process. Differences were primarily due to their ages, their respective experiences and backgrounds.

This approach to helping individuals grieve their losses came in part from rejecting unhealthy models I had observed and adopting healthy forms of emotional expression that came from my years of training. Dealing with feelings and emotions through journaling, sharing and talking with trusted friends is the key to healing grief of any type.

In the initial stages of the grief experience, this is difficult to adopt because most individuals are in a state of shock. No amount of good advice will register at this time. And some individuals try and hang on to their deceased spouse for months and years after the event. They live their lives in a constant state of tension which unconsciously they are refusing to release. Healing cannot occur until one chooses the healing path and commits to it. Books, support groups and other resources will have little effect on the grieving individual decides until they are ready to let go of their loved one and allow their recovery to begin.

When you’re ready, healing can begin in earnest. "How to Cope with Grief and Loss" will help get you there. In this audio ebook program you will find all the resources, supports, guidance and affirmations that you need to navigate this journey. Remember, until that choice is made, no expert, book or other resource can reach you because you are closed to receiving help. Please keep in mind this was not a conscious choice on your part, but more of a protective survival strategy that we all adopt when dealing with any emotional blow. When faced with a devastating loss, we typically close ourselves off in an effort to minimize the emotional pain.

Here's an example:

One of my clients, a young woman, had lost her father about 10 years before she came to see me. He had been a successful business man and left his family financially secure. She had worked her way through grief at the time he died, but recently discovered her mother had not.  She reported that while she was still grieving, her mother started going to a nearby casino. Her mother lost over $450,000.00 of their savings during that 10 year period. Because of this, my client and her mother lost their home, the family business and their comfortable lifestyle.

If you still believe that toughing it out is the only way to deal with the grief process, think again. Wouldn't you prefer to choose recovery from grieving a spouse over endless suffering?  If that's the case, then please read on.
