Synopsis

Ashley Davis Bush published Transcending Loss in 1997. Since then she has grown her Transcending Loss brand by becoming a sought after speaker for professional conferences and by reaching out directly to the bereaved through online communities where she has established tens of thousands of followers.

In her new book, HOPE & HEALING FOR TRANSCENDING LOSS, Bush offers daily readings - bite sized lifelines and glimpses of hope for those coping with the death of a loved one. The book comprises a brief introduction, a brief conclusion and 365 daily meditations, plus a few additional pieces for particularly difficult occasions like death date, birth date, anniversary, holidays and more. Scattered throughout are calming photographs for further contemplation or stillness.

Bush's writings focus on normalising and validating the incredibly painful process of grieving. She offers a compassionate perspective on staying connected to the deceased, focusing on love, living with gratitude, channelling pain to compassion, transcending loss, making meaning and living into a new self.

About this title

Review:

"Twenty-five years spent working with grieving clients has given Ashley Bush a great deal of insight into the processes involved in healing from the loss of a loved one. Transcending Loss, her bestseller, has been helping people for decades. Now she has created a very special tool which those recovering from loss can use daily to help themselves process the painful change that they are living through. It is a book of daily meditations for those struggling with profound loss. But don't be deceived by the book's familiar thought-for-the-day format. Her concise introduction to these meditations contains an astounding amount of valuable information about grieving. Contradicting many of the standard grieving myths, she isn't sugar-coating any of it or telling readers to get over it. Instead, she tells us that the pain doesn't stop, that there is no closure. She tells us that the goal is merging the loss into our lives and eventually transcending the pain. The 365 meditations she has put together gently take readers through the journey of getting to know grief and accept it. Each meditation ends with a one sentence daily affirmation. The book also contains a section for Special Trigger Days, and a carefully selected list of Suggested Reading." -Anna Jedrziewski, Retailing Insight--Reviews
