We live our lives in numerous ways because of our crucial relationships. Our interactions shape who we are and define who we are; they become inextricably linked to our sense of self (or self-concept) and therefore become a living part of us. It's excruciatingly difficult to lose one of these vital relationships since we lose a piece of ourselves when we lose a significant friendship. As a result, grieving is not a phenomenon that occurs out there in the world. Instead, it takes place within each mourning person's sense of self, which has been individually wounded and injured due to such losses. Grief work is thus a personal activity of healing and regrowth of self-identity.
Grief ends when we are no longer in desperate need of the person or object we have lost and can operate correctly without them. This isn't to say that we don't get sad when we think about past losses; it only means they aren't as crippling as they once were.
So if you are looking for a book that helps you understand the process behind the grief of loss, face bereavement that involves you or someone you know, this is the book you are looking for
