Showing titles in Grief & Loss

Based partly on the author's experience, partly on her in-depth interviews, and partly on a questionnaire she developed with psychologist Holly Barrett to which almost 600 women responded, Father Loss provides the clearest portrait yet of a very special group of women.

In Runaway Husbands, family therapist and author Vikki Stark — who herself lived through this heartbreak — guides women through the confusion, grief, and pain toward a place of understanding, resilience, and renewal.

Could it inspire in us the desire for a better world? In this profound and personal book, Kieran Setiya shows how philosophy can help us find our way.
