Death Did Us Part

At times, the negative memories of life will creep into our thought processes about our loved one. This is not to remind us that there was pain within our relationship, but because we have come to resent time spent on anything that was not wonderful and happy with our loved one.”Everyone loses someone. In Death Did Us Part, Certified Life, NLP, and Grief Coach Carolyn Schrader shares her own experiences with losing a loved one. The loss of her twin boys and husband brought devastating shock, pain, and grief to her family, and introduced a new world in the ‘business side of grief’. Death Did Us Part is an invaluable resource for those who have lost a spouse. One-part memoir, one-part advice, Schrader shares some of the things no one talks about after “I am sorry for your loss” has been said.

Honest and Insightful

Via open and intimate personal stories of loss, the author not only tackles the familial and culturally imparted ideologies of how we are to grieve, but then blows those constraints wide open. If ever someone gives you the permission to grieve a loss in your own personal way, she does. Partnered with the examination of the social construct is the practical; the “business side of grief” that comes with loss. Everything from financial impacts to legal issues to tasks of everyday living, including situations and circumstances that many may never have thought to consider. Readers could certainly benefit from the wisdom gained through her post-loss assessment and personal discovery.
