How to Come Up From the Depths of Grief, Loss or Life Transition
Beth’s life changed in an instant after her partner crashed on his mountain bike and broke his neck. The story begins when Michael doesn’t return home for dinner while riding a Colorado trail. Search and Rescue found him and transported him to the nearest hospital. With severe spinal cord injuries, he is left paralyzed from the neck down. Beth must navigate the complex world of quadriplegia while coming to grips with the new role she has been thrust into, from partner to caregiver.She’s dropped into a crevice of deep grief and finds herself in an unexpected apprenticeship with sorrow. She clings to her life mantra of many years—love what is. A state of surrender easy to convey, but so hard to practice. Because how do you love quadriplegia and how do you befriend grief?
Life Upside Down traverses uncategorized grief, mired in the confusion of non-death related loss. Michael was still alive but so much of their life had died.
Beth searches for out-of-the-box ways to cope. She finds the Dagara Grief Ritual from West Africa and she also walks part of the Camino de Santiago in France and Spain.
Both face immense physical and emotional challenges, but through it all, they never lose sight of their love for each other and their determination to persevere. In fact, it propels them forward. Her relationship with Michael helps forge this process like a river carves rock.
Beth shares the ups and downs of her journey with raw honesty and irreverent humor. You will laugh and cry and may do both at the same time. In the end, you will be inspired to continue living your own life with more tools to keep your heart open while being broken open.
In the pages of Life Upside Down you will find:
- Gems of advice for grief whether you are in it or know someone who is
- Inspiration to keep grief moving
- Out-of-the-box tools to befriend grief
- Nature as a resource
- Grief Ritual with Sobonfu Somé from the Dagara tribe of West Africa
- Walking as prayer — Beth walks 110 miles of the Camino de Santiago to grok her losses
- How important it is to find your grief friends
- How to be with someone going through deep grief.
- What to not do or say with someone who’s grieving
- Why do we fawn in grief and what to do instead
- How to be with anger
- The reality of quadriplegia through the lens of the caregiver/partner of someone with spinal cord injury
This is a story of hope, of overcoming adversity, and of the power of love to heal even the most profound wounds. Ultimately, it’s about the medicine grief has for us if we open to it.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
