Understanding Loss To Relieve The Anguish

Understanding Loss to Relieve the Anguish delves into the question of whether a loss is really a loss and if it is necessary to suffer as a result or just an overemphasized reaction to what is conventionally believed to be a loss. Your author supports and writes about how profoundly effective the power of belief and feelings are in any state of mind and how one can save a lot of lifes precious time mourning in misery with the gloom-and-doom of loss by exchanging that energy for creative energy, which bypasses the gloom-and-doom state of mind and creates reason to use loss as a possible catalyst for offsetting the misery of loss and becoming more inspired to feel better. The book is about turning sorrowful feelings into creative accomplishments as the ongoing order of the day for a more meaningfully rewarding life.

Life hit Pat and Tammy McLeod hard when their son Zach collapsed on a high school football field; he had sustained a severe brain injury. Facing the devastating possibility that things would never be the same for their beloved son, they committed to staying strong as a family and finding a way to maintain their footing. But the journey would reshape their faith, their family, and their future in ways they never saw coming. What would it take for them to navigate the endless fallout of their son’s life-transforming injury? How could they reconcile their grief over the life Zach lost, with gratitude for the life that remained? And how does a couple move forward together in their search for hope, rather than letting indefinable loss drive them apart? Hit Hard is the true story of the McLeods’ journey through ambiguous loss—both having and not having their son. It’s the story of a family who faced unexpected heartbreak, a story that offers us all glimpses of how we can pick up the pieces, redefine expectations, and trust God for hope in the midst of unresolved pain.

In this groundbreaking new work, David Kessler—an expert on grief and the coauthor with Elisabeth Kübler-Ross of the iconic On Grief and Grieving—journeys beyond the classic five stages to discover a sixth stage: meaning. In 1969, Elisabeth Kübler Ross first identified the stages of dying in her transformative book On Death and Dying. Decades later, she and David Kessler wrote the classic On Grief and Grieving, introducing the stages of grief with the same transformative pragmatism and compassion. Now, based on hard-earned personal experiences, as well as knowledge and wisdom earned through decades of work with the grieving, Kessler introduces a critical sixth stage. Many people look for “closure” after a loss. Kessler argues that it’s finding meaning beyond the stages of grief most of us are familiar with—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—that can transform grief into a more peaceful and hopeful experience. In this book, Kessler gives readers a roadmap to remembering those who have died with more love than pain; he shows us how to move forward in a way that honors our loved ones. Kessler’s insight is both professional and intensely personal. His journey with grief began when, as a child, he witnessed a mass shooting at the same time his mother was dying. For most of his life, Kessler taught physicians, nurses, counselors, police, and first responders about end of life, trauma, and grief, as well as leading talks and retreats for those experiencing grief. Despite his knowledge, his life was upended by the sudden death of his twenty-one-year-old son. How does the grief expert handle such a tragic loss? He knew he had to find a way through this unexpected, devastating loss, a way that would honor his son. That, ultimately, was the sixth state of grief—meaning. In Finding Meaning, Kessler shares the insights, collective wisdom, and powerful tools that will help those experiencing loss. Finding Meaning is a necessary addition to grief literature and a vital guide to healing from tremendous loss. This is an inspiring, deeply intelligent must-read for anyone looking to journey away from suffering, through loss, and towards meaning.

Love and its deeper, realistic, inspiring, deceiving, and at times, quite and meaningless value is explained in fairly easy-to-understand form. This is not a storybook.

The object of these scripts is to expose and air out the unprovable stances and influences of religious belief and its exploitation with no absolute condemnation on conventional beliefs. Conventional religion tends to cancel itself with the passage of time. Detailed descriptions are enclosed. The nutshell has it that in comparing archaic beliefs to unfolding beliefs, time is revealing a picture of inevitable and irreversible changes in those beliefs. Following the process of these changes will allow one to blend with them while broadening their scope on life or whatever else. Humans have precariously searched for a form of security that lessened the burden of exposure to accepting responsibility for living a life on planet Earth. Then, someone or other discovered, invented or rationalized something they believed was bigger and more powerful than them. Over a period of mankinds time, that power of belief became a dominant source of security and eventually emanated a belief of living forever in this illusionary state of security. Humans have been trapped into misconception, misunderstanding and vulnerable susceptibility for millenniums concerning their nature of choice in believing almost anything including the need for some type of mind salvation. An evolution of belief is slowly transforming from archaic views to a spiritual, consciousness of future orientation. Insight on basic and spiritual belief is covered.

Spirit, spiritual aspects perceived, and spirituality ingrained have been static, overemphasized and deceivingly unruly in spiritual enslavement for too many millenniums. Times are changing and so is the spiritual nature of everything pertaining to belief systems of mankind. These scriptures offer broad views of spirit, spiritual, and spirituality in concept and compare them from the ancient traditions of beliefs to those more recent and what will likely be future emanation of spiritual concepts and consciousness. Comprehensive aspects of spiritual rigidity and transforming fluctuations, adaptations, and changes are displayed for purposes of gaining more conscious awareness to possible alternatives for everyone interested in a broad and future-minded aspect of how the spirit of many natures may fit in with our lives.

If ever a person wanted to read on opening up a can of worms on a controversial subject, this is one of them. This is one of the king daddies of all the controversial issues. Its about the beginning, the interim, and the now, where conventional religion started, where it has been going and the changing route it is headed into. It may resist its inevitable destiny, or it may conform to the slow-moving new way of individual spirituality. The text is comprehensive, rational, and may be a bit startling to uninformed, naive, and inflexible believers while informative to nonbelievers, but is definitely an eye and ear opener for everyone. Your author recommends reading Evaluating Outdated Beliefs first as a preparation for further understanding the progression submitted in this issue of unfolding spiritual change.
