Books on grief often fall into two categories: memoir or science. In The Only Way Out is Through, Dr. Gail Gross combines the two in an inspiring story of loss alongside the analytical psychology that helped her find her own re-entry into life.
The Only Way Out is Through tells the story of a mother's sudden loss of a child and the impact on the family as a whole. It offers a comprehensive approach to healing for the bereaved and helps them reenter life on new terms. The Only Way Out is Through is not only a book about grieving, but a guide to successfully navigating transitions—the endings and beginnings of life. Dr. Gail helps readers learn to listen to their own inner voices, the deepest part of the unconscious, so that reorienting and reshaping the future seems possible. Offering strategies for dealing not just with profound grief, but with living beyond a devastating loss, she provides a map for those looking for guidance, comfort, care, and hope.
Industry Reviews
Gail Gross has turned her deeply agonizing suffering of grief over the loss of a beloved child into a glorious hymn to life. She has sung it in the pure tones of great compassion, offering to the so many others who have faced, face, or will face this dread situation the broadly researched and deeply experienced tried and true methods of going through the valleys of despair and finally transcending death through total openness to the gift of love and life reborn. I cannot recommend highly enough this beautiful book and its path to healing.
