Offering guidance and encouragement, this personal narrative shares the experience of a grieving mother as she learned to live again after her daughter's death
EDMONTON, Alberta, June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Loralee Scobie ventures in the publishing scene to share her personal story of healing from grief in "A New Normal: A Grieving Mother's Journey From Loss to Healing" (published by Balboa Press).
This book is one mother's account of learning to live again following the accidental death of her 24-year-old daughter Sara. Here, the author writes from her soul describing how she came to sit with her grief and in doing so began to heal. Learning that grief is not linear, she allowed all the feelings associated with grief to unravel. She includes journal entries from three years of writing to her deceased daughter. Though she did not realize it at the time, these writing were the beginning of finding her new normal.
"We do not pass through one stage of grief to another, but rather our healing occurs more in a spiral, where we return to whatever part of ourselves needs to healed until we are able to find our new normal," the author states. "We heal when we allow ourselves to feel and accept all our feelings (even the unpleasant ones that we fear we may be judged on). We learn that our shadow grief doesn't preclude us from experiencing joy or happiness. It is the multi-dimensional characteristics of grief that allow for polar feelings to co-exist, as we navigate our new way of being."
"A New Normal: A Grieving Mother's Journey From Loss to Healing" will appeal to grieving mothers and those who wish to understand their experiences. To purchase a copy of the book, visit https://www.balboapress.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/828877-a-new-normal.
