Grief Is...Mourning Sickness
When my 22-year old son died in a car accident, many lovely people gave me comforting gifts. The one that has had the most profound effect on me is a one-inch square quote card that says:"I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it." - Maya AngelouI still read that quote frequently. The message it carries has bolstered my resolve to remember that while I do not get to choosewhatI will experience in life, I always have the power to choosehowI will respond to those experiences.My primary goal in writing this book is to reduce your suffering. If you are willing to be open to new ideas about love, life and death, this book will help you save hours, months or even years of suffering and pain.This book is based upon my own research and experience while successfully coaching thousands of clients through their tremendous life challenges of trauma, loss and change. I take full responsibility for my view points and my unique application of Tapping. Whenever I refer to a client case study in this book, I have used a fictitious name to protect their identity.This revised edition has three primary changes from the first:1. At the request of many readers I have included more of my own story.2. After interviewing previous readers, I have infused the teaching points within actual client case studies to help them "stick."3. I am including an overview of theThe 5 Aspects of Grief© as a formula you can follow while using Tapping to heal your trauma, loss and grief.Wishing you peace,Jan
