The Little Book of Loss Rituals:

The perfect companion in times of grief and sorrow.

In life, loss is inevitable, and though grief is a normal response to loss, most of us were never taught what to do with our grief - or how to support others with theirs. This is especially true when enduring non-death losses like a miscarriage or a divorce, where a lack of societal norms – for example, holding a funeral- often causes our grieving to become ambiguous. Yet, any important loss can activate grief, and as emerging research shows, acts of grieving, like performing rituals, help us heal. 

The Little Books of Loss Rituals offers over 75 gentle, practical actions to help honor what was, hold what hurts, and slowly rediscover life.

Inside, you’ll discover how to:

• Name the many kinds of loss—death, breakups, illness, moves, identity shifts, disappointments—and permit yourself to grieve them all.
• Incorporate accessible, meaningful grief rituals in your life, whether you have five minutes alone or want to include friends and family.
• Create heartfelt rituals that fit your beliefs, culture, and comfort level, ideally suited to honor your griefy needs.
• Build ongoing practices that help you stay present to your pain and your aliveness, healthfully integrating grief as a part of you, not something that defines you. 

Presented through an affirming mix of traditional global grieving practices and poignant personal narratives, The Little Book of Loss Rituals invites readers to explore rituals like never before; by remembering our loss, releasing pain, reconnecting with others, and recognizing rituals as our ancestors did for millennia–as a powerful tool for healing.
