Lifequakes : The Journey Through Grief and Loss

A COMPANION AND MUST-READ FOR ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY LOSS OF ANY KIND. You are not alone in your grief and you are not going crazy... For every cycle of sunrise to sunset, over 150,000 people die and a million more feel the effects of personal loss and grief. Violent crime, medical illness, accidents, divorce or losing a job or a home are just as devastating and can alter the landscape of the life you thought would be yours. For those who have lost the stability in their life and have found the ground has crumbled beneath their feet, you are not alone. This book speaks in words you will find yourself nodding “yes” to and finding someone who understands. Lifequakes was written by Deborah DeLisi, a mother and artist who survived divorce and cancer, only to lose her daughter suddenly without warning. Plunged into shock, grief, despair, and a life she didn’t sign up for, Deborah writes with honesty about the weight of each moment and learning to take steps into a world of people she no longer felt similar to. Lifequakes is a companion on your journey—a roadmap to grieving—and for all going through loss, new or old. Deb's drawings and words are road markers to help you stay the course. She speaks honestly from the deepest part within all of us, and with the ability to help you find your way through darkness. Lifequakes is comforting and helpful for all on the journey of learning to live with traumatic life-changing events. After reading her words and treasuring her artwork, you won't feel as alone, and finding life within death may seem possible.
