Conquering the Mysteries and Lies of Grief presents an innovative investigation into loss. Being based on hundreds of interviews along with personal experience, the book clarifies how and why grief catapults us into a crisis, threatening our mental, physical, and spiritual health. Through the revealing frank conversations, you discover fresh information on how to take an active role in your grief, while adjusting to new realities. You learn how to handle the "snootful of shoulds" while finding out the variables that make your grief so unique. Grief takes you on a bizarre maze like journey allowing you to explore and plow through your pain to get to a life filled with goals and not despair. Conquering the Mysteries and Lies of Grief does not tiptoe around the powerful reality of grief. Grief is miserable, unpredictable, and intimidating work, however, by understanding the domino effect of loss you can go on to live a life of graciousness and radiance.

Excellent book!,

This review is from: Conquering the Mysteries and Lies of Grief (Paperback)
The advice this book provides to people who have suffered a loss is priceless. I found this open, honest approach to dealing with grief to be a must-read for everyone. Whether you have lost a loved one through death or divorce, this book will help you understand the many stages you experience.Ms Russell has created a unique book that readers will find comforting, as well as educational. Her many years of experience are evident in the knowledge and compassion that she conveys. Although this is a serious subject, the book is written with a touch of humor. Dealing with loss is a fact of life. We will all experience the confusion of grief one day. Having books such as this one, to be used as a resource, will offer answers to many questions. It is well written and easy to understand. It is written in such a way that even the most distracted reader, who may be drowning in grief, will be able to comprehend. However, it is just as useful for people who suffered a loss years ago and need to understand the behaviors and feelings they dealt with. (also the issues they might still be dealing with) Grief can send you into crisis, threatening your mental, physical and spiritual health. This book can help you adjust and take an active role in your own journey to understanding yourself and the others around you that think they are "helping." I highly recommend this book.

A very interesting little book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Conquering the Mysteries and Lies of Grief (Paperback)
Book Review: by Kitty HoffmanConquering the Mysteries and Lies of Grief by Sherry Russell Deb Smith-Jones, the founder of Margaret Ann's Place in Kenosha, told me that this might be a very interesting little book. She was right on both counts. It was packed with The author blends her personal insight with quotes from the interviews she conducted. She pinpoints the differences between men and women and how they deal with grief. Early on she states that your grief is like a bridge that you must cross from what used to be to what now exists. That trip isn't fast or easy, but it must be taken in order to feel Chapter Eight is her Exercise in Truth. It offers a list of questions to analyze your relationship with the one who died as well as those around you. She also touches on family dynamics and the need to work together on the new reality you face. And the last chapter of Sherry Russell's book offers some Pain Relievers and hope - two things I know we all long for. This is definitely a book I would recommend.

Quality information offering clear and concise choices,
By Ron G. (San Francisco, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Conquering the Mysteries and Lies of Grief (Paperback)
Conquering the Mysteries and Lies of Grief has an energy to it. One that makes you want to help yourself and others to "conquer" the grief that can ruin your life. The author lays out the reason and concepts behind professional thinkings on grief. She writes about her interviews to help you see you are not alone in your confusion. The most important element to this book was it didn't tell you what you should do or make you feel judged in any way. It provides a variety of ways to help yourself or someone else in grief. Very good!
