“Compared to most, my problems are small.” “I should be happy with what I’ve got.” We have an inner judge that tells us grief is “allowed” for big losses, but that we should be able to tough it out through everyday heartbreak - like financial worries, isolation, prejudice and bigotry, or our sense of helplessness in a troubled world. “These are losses society doesn’t recognise, mirror back to us, or validate,” says acclaimed grief educator Christina Rasmussen. “As a result, we don’t recognise or validate them either.”
In Invisible Loss, Rasmussen shines a light on this unrecognised form of grief. Because we avoid invisible loss, we don’t process it; instead, we seek the protection of an endless “waiting room” in the hope that time will heal our wounds. Here, Rasmussen helps you meet your loss with grace, free from shame or guilt. Then she shares a powerful five-step process called the Life Reentry® Model to help you cleanse stagnant emotions and habits, build your capacity for reflection and acceptance, and reclaim control of your life.
“The entire world is silently grieving, attempting to process a form of heartbreak unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. We need a new language and road map for our invisible losses,” says Rasmussen. This book gives you the tools you need in order to heal, move forward, and embrace the life you were meant to lead.
Christina Rasmussen is an acclaimed grief educator and the author of Second Firsts and Where Did You Go? She has helped countless people break out of what she coined the "waiting room" of grief to rebuild their lives through her Life Reentry® Model, a new paradigm of grief, based on the science of neuroplasticity. She lives in Austin, Texas. For more, visit christinarasmussen.com.
