Here, with uncommon sensitivity and support, he invites us to explore grief not as a process of recovery, but as the ongoing narrative of our relationship with the one we've lost--to be fully felt, told, and woven into our lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor those in bereavement and anyone supporting those who are, \u003ci\u003eGetting Grief Right\u003c\/i\u003e offers an uncommonly empathetic guide to opening to our sorrow as the full expression of our love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhD Patrick O'Malley\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick O'Malley, PHD\u003c\/b\u003e, has been providing grief counseling and education to clients and colleagues for over 35 years.
