This unacknowledged grief consumes the soul, creating an invisible pain that the "Long Island Medium", Theresa Caputo, has witnessed in many of her clients. Though they are suffering, they rarely understand where the anguish is coming from-or how to deal with it. The only relief, according to Caputo's special gift she calls "Spirit", is to name these feelings of grief, recognize the losses for what they are, and create healing practices around them." -- Inside front jacket flap.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Have you had a spiritual encounter? Do you believe in psychics? Do you want to connect with a loved one who has passed? Theresa Caputo, the Long Island Medium, host of Lifetime's Raising Spirits, and three-time New York Times bestselling author, teaches us how to ritualize and recover from the daily losses in our lives.

Navigating our time on earth includes not just coping with the lost of a loved one, but more often, making sense of the losses that we face every day. These every day loses have the potential to plummet us into shock, depression, anxiety, and grief.

Through Spirit, Theresa shares how to move through the pain and begin to heal on losses such as:

· Losing a friend, losing a spouse to separation or divorce

· Losing faith, losing your job, and losing safety and familiarity

· Losing your hopes and dreams, losing your youth, and losing trust

· Losing a body part, losing your will to endure, and losing confidence over past choices

As you read Good Mourning, Theresa encourages you to:

· Earmark your favorite pages and underline passages that speak to you

· Journal about what you learn

· Get crafty with the exercises

Knowing how to identify and heal from daily losses is essential because they can cause serious emotional damage if you don't process them. Theresa teaches you how to name your feelings of grief, recognize losses, and create mourning rituals around them so you can enjoy a fresh beginning.
