Intertwining her personal experiences with careful research, Dr. Gowen shows us that grief is unique to everyone and to every loss. There is no right or wrong way to live with it, but there are ways to better manage it, which might include meditation, long walks, or giving yourself a hug. Dr. Gowen lets us know that grief does not have to live in a quiet room with the shades drawn-rather, it can be a motivation to look closely, breathe deeply, and do something you always wanted to try, because "why not?"
