9Grief hits us all. Death, divorce, a broken childhood, a job loss, the loss of identity, or the loss of a dream can bring us each deep grief. This book reveals what we can do to work through the tasks of grief with resilience, coping, humor, and purpose. Melissa Mork is a professor of psychology and grief counselor who has studied bereavement her entire career. When her husband died, leaving her to parent their two children alone, it all became very personal. Taking what she's learned from her academic and professional studies, and using her questionable sense of humor, Melissa realized it was humor, laughter, gratitude and optimism that helped her navigate this very personal grief process.
