PART TWO
Preparing for Change: Starting to Recover
Recovery from loss is achieved by a series of small and correct choices made by the griever. You have already made several correct choices:
You have acknowledged that a problem exists.
You have acknowledged that the problem is associated with loss.
You have acknowledged, by beginning to read this handbook, that you are now willing to take action to complete your grief.
The next four chapters will introduce you to the first actions necessary for moving beyond loss. Success in moving through grief depends on your willingness to follow through on each action along the way.
