In the groundbreaking The Seasons of Our Grief, author Dr. Ray Mitsch challenges the notion of a linear, sequential progression of grief and unveils a transformative alternative-a cycle of seasons within the grieving process. Dr. Mitsch introduces us to two individuals who traverse this journey, illuminating the path through their poignant stories, which portray grief as a series of seasons, each requiring a unique tool to assist in the passage. In this cyclical view, growth becomes intertwined with healing. You will learn the tools essential for each season: - Winter: grappling with the reality of what you've lost - Spring: dealing with reawakened emotions - Summer: recognizing the holes left behind - Fall: accepting the bittersweetness of moving on The Seasons of our Grief is an empathetic guide, offering solace, insights, and tools for anyone grappling with loss. Dr. Ray Mitsch has been in the counseling profession since 1980. He has authored five books including his bestselling Grieving the Loss of Someone You Love, selling over 400,000 copies worldwide. Ray has been married to Linda since 1978, and they have four daughters and three grandsons. The Mitsches live in the Denver area.
