Publisher's Summary

How you feel right now is valid. Let yourself heal by receiving the help you need....

Have you lost all desire to do anything with your life now that your spouse is gone? 

Are you so worried about the future that you’re having anxiety attacks? 

Do you find it hard to eat right and sleep well because you’re drowning in sorrow? 

You may have gone back to work to occupy your mind, but you realize you can’t focus. You feel empty and hollow inside, and it feels as though you’re sleepwalking through life. 

You just can't bear the sadness, constantly yearning for his or her presence. 

You may have asked yourself, “How will I move forward with my life? How long until it is better?” You want to be free from this pain and heartache. 

Maybe you’re experiencing physical pain. You either can’t stop crying or you can’t cry at all because your emotions are all bottled up. 

You don't know what stage of grief you’re at. You’re just totally overwhelmed by what has happened to you, and you feel that the world is cruel and unjust. 

It’s not easy to move forward, and every grieving journey is different and as unique as a fingerprint. To help you through the process, you need support and practical solutions to help you cope with your loss and restore yourself. 

In The Somatic Therapy Book: Healing After the Loss of a Spouse, you will discover:

  • Seven stages of grief, as well as misconceptions about grieving - and what you should do instead to heal from this trauma
  • Coping strategies for dealing with stigma associated with widowhood
  • How somatic therapy works to balance the mind and body, and why you should try it to heal from the emotional and physical effects of grief
  • 10 somatic interventions to help your journey from trauma to healing
  • How to recover from traumatic grief through somatic mindfulness exercises
  • Exactly what steps to take after losing your spouse so you can cope financially
  • Simple five-minute somatic exercises with illustrations to ease your physical pain without straining your body
  • How to create a practical self-care plan even while you’re grieving - so you can stay afloat and keep progressing
  • Practical worksheets to help you mourn in a healthy way and eventually heal from the pain of grieving
  • Five things to consider before you start dating after the loss of your spouse
  • Six signs you might be ready to marry again (and the pros and cons of remarrying)
  • The must know dos and don’ts as a widow or widower
  • And much more. 

You don’t have to buy any equipment to do the somatic exercises provided in this guide; you can do them all by using simple everyday items, such as a washcloth. 

You also don’t have to copy someone else’s timeline. Your grief experience is unique to you. You’re the one who owns your emotions, and no one has the right to judge your decisions.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
