Grief carries a weight that can be hard to put down. Grief is stagnant, whereas we are constantly in transition; life is change and change includes loss. Every loss can include gifts and gain, though we must move through the loss without side-stepping or denying it. How can we move through grief? How can we get through each day, much less the entire process?
Honoring Loss, Growing Through Grief
, by Moya McGinn Mathews, E-RYT500, YACEP(R),
provides a holistic approach to healing through the experience of grief and loss. The book offers Yoga practices, guided meditations and visualizations, and journaling exercises aimed to reorient the griever in deep attitudes of self-compassion for healing at every level - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Grief may be unique, but you are not alone in it.

Reader reviews:
is a book that I wish I had been able to suggest to patients during my forty year career as a psychotherapist. I remember vividly the words of a woman who said to me that, in her grief, "I forgot that I had a body." Moya McGinn Mathews is both a wise and knowledgeable teacher and practitioner of yoga as well as woman who generously shares her own life with the reader honestly. One knows that this is a trustworthy voice and a guide who knows her way.

This self-care book not only has inspiring and accessible yogic tools for coping and healing from all types of grief, it also actually feels like a conversation with a wise woman who has, "been there and done that." Moya's years of experience and teaching shines through this book to the reader, like a much needed conversation and sound, applicable advice. I highly recommend this book for all who are experiencing grief of any kind, including navigating the world we are living in today.
