Coping with Grief
Did someone you love die suddenly?
It’s unbearable! You don’t know how or even if you can get through it. You want to know how others did.
Please know that you are not alone. I’ve been through it too as so many others have with all the mass shootings happening recently. It’s a terrible journey, but as a woman who lost seven close loved ones I decided to share how I got through it in my book, “Grief Comfort Guide.” I tell their stories so you can see them as I do and know how losing them affected me and how I came through my loss and grief and healed. Hopefully, something that you read will be of help to you in your grief and give you comfort that you, too, can heal.

Reviews
Grief Comfort Guide: A Personal Journey from Loss to Light by Marie Lenay Rogus is part self-help book, part memoir. Rogus gives the reader advice on how to deal with grief, including breathing and meditation exercises. Also included are personal stories related to the family members she has lost over the years.
The first half of the book provides an explanation of grief and its many manifestations. Rogus explains how and why grief can hit us at seemingly random times. She provides the reader with exercises to help calm themselves when the grief flares up. The second half of the book is far more personal in nature. Rogus presents accounts of life with the family members she has lost throughout the years.
Grief Comfort Guide: A Personal Journey from Loss to Light is well-written. The stories are told in great vivid detail. It is easy for the reader to conjure images of the people and places in Rogus’ life. Her passion for helping people heal after a loss is clear and her approach differs from the traditional self-help books. Grief Comfort Guide: A Personal Journey from Loss to Light by Marie Lenay Rogus is a good resource for anyone experiencing grief and looking for a self-help book that approaches the topic in a different way. – 2018 ATAI Book Award Contest

Reading this book is also a sort of encouragement to get out of grief and not be in isolation because the stress caused by grief is unhealthy. Healing is important and the author suggests trying out meditation, yoga, and hypnosis, or going to a chiropractor or acupuncturist so that healing happens, both in body and mind. The ten comfort suggestions for easing grief are helpful when it comes to handling grief and having a normal life again.

Excerpt from Grief Comfort Guide
“I was afraid, trembling, cold, and eight-months pregnant as I walked down the hospital hall. A tang of disinfectant was in the air, and I could hear the echo of my footsteps. My senses were so heightened. I walked into my husband’s room and stopped in horror.”
