ABOUT THE BOOK:

An inspiring guide that reimagines the stages of grief into five healing actions.

There is no way to spin grief. It's hard. It's messy. It's destabilizing. And every single one of us has to go through it.

Author and Grief Coach Kate Doerge knows this too well. Over six years, she lost her father to heart failure and her mother in a car accident five days before Christmas. She also faced the hardest challenge for any parent, losing her sixteen-year-old daughter, Penny, to complications from a rare genetic condition.

After Penny's death, Kate knew she had a choice, she could lose herself to a grief so powerful she might not come back from it—or she could find another way through. Reimagining Grief is the result of that search.

Drawing from her own experience, the latest research, and conversations with others who have faced devastating loss, Kate offers five actions that can help ground you when you feel out of control, lift you when you're depleted, and help you process the pain of loss.

In this book, you'll learn:

● Why there isn't one right way to grieve—and how to find your own path

● An approach to saying goodbye that honors both you and your loved one

● The 5 Actions Through Grief and how to use them to heal–Connect with Others, Celebrate Your Loved Ones, Be Open to the Signs, Get Moving, and Turn Pain into Purpose

● What post-traumatic growth really looks like

● How to find joy again

These actions won’t make grief vanish or disappear; everyone has to go through the difficult path that you are put on after losing someone you loved deeply. However, Reimagining Grief offers some light and healing in the midst of darkness and a different way forward.

This is the book Kate wishes she'd had. She wrote it for you.

PRAISE FOR REIMAGINING GRIEF

“Part memoir, part roadmap, Reimagining Grief is a deeply personal yet practical guide for anyone navigating the aftermath of devastating loss. Kate doesn't offer easy answers -- she gives us something far more valuable: her own story, and proof that a life can be rebuilt, not in spite of sorrow, but through it.”

— Belle Burden, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage

“With a devastating level of intimacy, Kate Doerge recounts how personal tragedy transformed into action, growth, and joy.

A unique literary marriage of memoir & battle plan, Reimagining Grief is the urgent announcement of a new emotional movement.”

— Lea Carpenter, NY Times bestselling author, Lecturer in Law at Columbia Law

"Reimagining Grief has a similar composition to a Roman Candle. A firework ignites just once, but Kate Doerge's masterful book will illuminate over and over in the hearts of every person who reads it.

Kate Doerge has written a master class on a new way to mourn; her book on grief is inspiring and joyful. You will be talking about "Reimagining Grief" at your next dinner party."

— Karen Duffy, NY Times bestselling author, actress, chaplain, and pain patient advocate
