A Grief Revealed is not a book about grief—but it is a book for those who are grieving. Author Karen Mace has experienced grief from both sides: as a therapist, and as a mother who witnessed the untimely deaths of two of her children. As she explains, society holds many myths about grief, which deeply impacts how we validate and accept it in our lives. Through her writing, Karen shares valuable insights about grief—how it comes in many forms, and how each of us has our own individual grief journey and path to healing. She delves into the world of disenfranchised grief, which is too often misdiagnosed or dismissed. We learn about our lost possible selves, the unachieved important life goals that become personified, and how they can stop us from walking through the sadness into acceptance and healing. Karen also invites us into the lives of those who have been brave enough to share their stories of loss, grief, pain, healing and forgiveness. By drawing on her experience as a counsellor and writing therapist, she provides tools for the journey. From the power of self-care to the power of emotions, you will uncover strategies that you can incorporate into your everyday life. Karen also explains how writing can be used as a powerfully therapeutic way to navigate each step. In this intimately honest book you will learn that: The pain you carry is valid and must be honoured When loss turns your world upside down, you can remain standing Grief can be your friend, instead of your enemy Grief is not to be fixed or hidden—you can be honest and open. In A Grief Revealed: Finding and Navigating Your Way Through Loss, Karen dispels the many myths about grief and offers practical tips for managing stress, improving sleep quality, and decreasing anxiety that is so often experienced during the grieving process. Walking the path is not quick or easy, and at times it can feel like you are walking in thick mud that wants to suck you down. But with a deeper understanding of your grief and the knowledge there are others walking alongside you, you are no longer alone. This book is a must read for anyone affected by, or working their way through loss, blame, anger, feelings of helplessness and extreme sadness. 'If you find yourself lost in the wilderness of grief, then this is the guide for you.' Julie Sladden MD 'I recommend this book to all who have experienced loss in any form as a valuable resource to begin their healing journey.' Melanie Pearce 'A Grief Revealed weaves its way around your heart and oftentimes I identified myself within the stories of others. The realisation and awareness of what disenfranchised grief is and how it is potentially stealing our joy explained itself as I read through the pages. (It) is a read that will help unlock and heal areas that have been pushed below the surface of our lives.' Bronwyn Waterhouse, Executive Officer, New Mornings
