Mourning the death of someone is an experience we all face. The sense of grief--perhaps the most profound of human emotions--can feel overwhelming as we struggle to move forward. In You Don't Have to Like It...You Do Have to Live It: Conversations About Loss, Grief and the Opportunity to Grow, A. Barbara Coyne, PhD, author and founder of The Dwelling Place, Center for Health, guides us through the mourning and grieving processes and helps us to reframe the concept of grief not in terms of "getting over it", but as a basic human experience that must be lived...not explained away.Coyne recognizes that loss and grief, ever present in our lives, can lead to personal growth, and that moments of suffering are often when we are receptive to life's most germane lessons. From the experience of grief to its manifestations, from the work-of-grief to common themes found in the processes of grieving and mourning, the author guides us gently, yet firmly, through a process that changes, but never ends.
