Five Week Book Club (All Losses) – Virtual

Book: The Modern Loss Handbook. Modern Loss is all about eradicating the stigma and awkwardness around grief while also focusing on our capacity for resilience and finding meaning. In this interactive guide, Modern Loss cofounder Rebecca Soffer offers candid, practical, and witty advice for confronting a future without your person, honoring their memory, dealing with trigger days, managing your professional life, and navigating new and existing relationships. You’ll find no worn-out platitudes or empty assurances here. With prompts, creative projects, innovative rituals, therapeutic-based exercises, and more, this is the place to explore the messy, long arc of loss on your own timeline—and without judgment.  Absolutely no one wants to be a grief expert because no one wants to have to live inside it enough to become adept at its navigation. Rebecca Soffer not only has come through this terrible thing, as much as anyone can, but also has created a soulful, honest, benevolent road map for this trip we all must take, even though we really, really don’t want to. She’s someone you’d want in the passenger seat giving you directions. The book The Modern Loss Handbook by Rebecca Soffer is required reading for this group and can be purchased online.   Registration: Open attendance but one time registration needed Facilitator: Leslie Eames, MA, CT Phone: (302) 478-5707 Email: leames@delawarehospice.org
