Understanding Loss to Relieve the Anguish delves into the question of whether a loss is "really" a loss and if it is necessary to suffer as a result or just an overemphasized reaction to what is conventionally "believed" to be a loss. Your author supports and writes about how profoundly effective the power of belief and feelings are in any state of mind and how one can save a lot of life's precious time mourning in misery with the gloom-and-doom of loss by exchanging that energy for creative energy, which bypasses the gloom-and-doom state of mind and creates reason to use loss as a possible catalyst for offsetting the misery of loss and becoming more inspired to feel better. The book is about turning sorrowful feelings into creative accomplishments as the ongoing order of the day for a more meaningfully rewarding life.
