Grief Loss Trauma

A Grief Revealed is not a book about grief but a book for those of us who are grieving, to help us walk through sadness into acceptance and healing.

Karen Mace invites us into the lives of those who have been brave enough to share their stories of loss, grief, pain-and healing. Having experienced grief from both sides, as a therapist and as a mother who witnessed the untimely deaths of two of her children, Karen writes with insight about how each of us has our own individual grief journey and path to healing.

By drawing on her experience as a writing therapist, she provides tools for using writing as a powerfully therapeutic way to navigate each step. In this powerful and intimately honest book you will learn that:

The pain you carry is valid and must be honoured.

When loss turns your world upside down, you can remain standing.

Grief can be your friend, instead of your enemy.

Grief is not to be fixed or hidden-you can be honest and open.

In A Grief Revealed, Karen dispels myths about grief and offers practical tips for managing stress, improving sleep quality, and decreasing anxiety that is so often experienced during the grieving process.

A must read for anyone affected by, or working their way through loss, blame, anger and feelings of helplessness.

'If you find yourself lost in the wilderness of grief, then this is the guide for you.'

'I recommend this book to all who have experienced loss in any form as a valuable resource to begin their healing journey.'

Melanie Pearce

'A Grief Revealed weaves its way around your heart and oftentimes I identified myself within the stories of others. ... The realisation and awareness of what disenfranchised grief is and how it is potentially stealing our joy explained itself as I read through the pages. (It) is a read that will help unlock and heal areas that have been pushed below the surface of our lives.'
