It is impossible to live without losses and bereavements, but when misfortune strikes us, we are completely unprepared. The death of a loved one, a serious illness, failures in business or career — such events can sometimes knock us so off track that we lose the joy of life, and sometimes it loses its meaning altogether. How can you find the strength to move forward in such a situation and learn to see the good in life? Alexander Ryazantsev, a practicing psychologist with 30 years of experience, explains each stage of experiencing and accepting loss in a very accessible way. He gives simple and effective advice: how to relate to your losses, what can be done in various situations, how to react, how to set the right mood, and love your changed life. His method is based on extensive 20-year research and work as a psychologist with the relatives of sailors who died on the Kursk submarine. The book contains a clear authorial algorithm, following which you can realize how exactly losses affect the quality of your life and how to change it so as not to let grief destroy you.
