Find Hope and Recreate a Good Life After Loss Struggling with grief and moving forward after losing a spouse? The problem isn't you. It's the grief that is changing the way your brain works (or doesn't). Time, in and of itself, does not heal. What does heal is: Understanding that moving forward is not the same as "moving on." Realizing that there is no requirement to leave your spouse in the past. Knowing that you don't have to "get over it" but you can incorporate your loss. Learning how to carry your grief so that it isn't a burden. Finding your way forward in a way that honors your late spouse. Life, Reconstructed is your guide to healing your life after loss. It applies the cutting-edge tools and techniques of life coaching to the uniquely difficult journey of the widowed. It's delivered with depth and compassion from someone who has experienced your struggle firsthand. There is hope. There is a way to heal and hold on to your love. There is a next version of you -- a person you can become not in spite of your loss, but because of it. Life, Reconstructed reveals the way, on your terms and on your timeline.

When you have just lost a loved one, recovery will be the last thing on your mind. The possibility of finding joy in life again, enjoying the simple pleasures that life brings, moving on, and focusing on work and your ambitions will sound impossible and maybe even cruel. You may feel like suffering through the rest of your life if only to pay the price for your living while a loved one is dead.

Following the path of recovery can lead to personal growth, excellence, and after a while, you will find yourself being happy again. Loss and its attendant emotions will change you. Things can never be the same way it was before you suffered a loss, but rather than allow it take you down the downward spiral of depression and coping with drugs, you can make a decision to use it to enhance your personal growth.
