Descripción
In her work as a therapist, and in her search for help in the wake of her own loss, Keefauver began to see how the misguided stories we consume about grief lead to unnecessary suffering. Responding to the problematic narratives that grief is something to move on from after completing the five stages like some sort of to-do list, Keefauver became a grief activist. Through this book and her hit podcast of the same title, she creates a safe place to be inside the messiness of it all, to discover the full spectrum of grief, and to find the tools that help grievers move forward, not on. Grief is a Sneaky Bitch is a comprehensive guide--both a manual full of insights and skills and, even more importantly, a thoughtful companion that helps readers feel seen and held. Keefauver shares her personal and professional wisdom alongside the lessons she's learned from clinicians, authors, poets, and friends. In place of rigid instructions and must-do checklists, Grief is a Sneaky Bitch invites reflection, encourages self-compassion, and explores the therapeutic power of humor with, yes, a bit of profanity. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A comprehensive and compassionate guide to navigating loss. When social worker Lisa Keefauver became a widow in 2011, she was alarmed to discover that even though 100 percent of us experience loss, we're living in a grief illiterate world. In her work as a therapist, and in her search for help in the wake of her own loss, Keefauver began to see how the misguided stories we consume about grief lead to unnecessary suffering. Responding to the problematic narratives that grief is something to move on from after completing the five stages like some sort of to-do list, Keefauver became a grief activist. Through this book and her hit podcast of the same title, she creates a safe place to be inside the messiness of it all, to discover the full spectrum of grief, and to find the tools that help grievers move forward, not on. Grief is a Sneaky Bitch is a comprehensive guide--both a manual full of insights and skills and, even more importantly, a thoughtful companion that helps readers feel seen and held. Keefauver shares her personal and professional wisdom alongside the lessons she's learned from clinicians, authors, poets, and friends. In place of rigid instructions and must-do checklists, Grief is a Sneaky Bitch invites reflection, encourages self-compassion, and explores the therapeutic power of humor with, yes, a bit of profanity.

About the Author
Lisa Keefauver es activista, conferencista y escritora sobre el duelo. Empezó su carrera como trabajadora social y terapeuta narrativa en 2004. Amplió su activismo en una variedad de puestos: directora clínica, cofundadora de una organización sin fines de lucro, supervisora clínica, mentora y facilitadora de crecimiento y sanación personal y profesional. Su activismo incluye el trabajo íntimo de dar espacio y ser testigo de las personas mientras navegan por su viaje de duelo. Los conocimientos profesionales de Lisa iluminan y desmantelan la limitada y engañosa historia colectiva del duelo que conduce al sufrimiento innecesario y que causa tanto daño. Su sabiduría y conocimientos sobre el duelo también se reflejan en sus pérdidas personales, incluida la muerte de su esposo, Eric, en 2011.
