Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A thoughtful, spiritual journal for processing the ten stages of loss and grief--a wonderful companion to the bestselling Good Grief. Every loss "deserves a fitting grief," author Jill Alexander Essbaum assures us in The Good Grief Journal. Healing is possible, and Essbaum offers a path for all who grieve, whether the loss is from a physical death, a divorce, declining health, bankruptcy, or some other wound. Each of the ten sections of meditation in this journal corresponds to a stage of grief as outlined in Granger E. Westberg's classic book Good Grief, first published in 1968 and still timely for today's reader. With more than three million copies in print, Good Griefhas provided readers validation for their "minor" and "major" types of grief, understanding of their feelings, and guidance for how to live through grief and rediscover hope. Scripture passages, poems, and quotes from a variety of sages and artists offer inspiration for this journey. Every poignant meditation is followed by interactive prompts and questions designed to help you reflect more deeply on the nature and effects of your loss. The meditations and prompts in this journal are intentionally nonspecific so they adapt to both the nature of the loss and the needs of each grieving person. No matter what shape your grief takes, you will find understanding and comfort here.…

Hardback. Condition: Fair. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, THE HUFFINGTON POST, AND SHELF AWARENESS - In Hausfrau, Anna Karenina goes Fifty Shades with a side of Madame Bovary.--Time A debut novel about Anna, a bored housewife who, like her Tolstoyan namesake, throws herself into a psychosexual journey of self-discovery and tragedy.--O: The Oprah Magazine Sexy and insightful, this gorgeously written novel opens a window into one woman's desperate soul.--People Anna was a good wife, mostly. For readers of The Girl on the Train and The Woman Upstairs comes a striking debut novel of marriage, fidelity, sex, and morality, featuring a fascinating heroine who struggles to live a life with meaning.Anna Benz, an American in her late thirties, lives with her Swiss husband, Bruno--a banker--and their three young children in a postcard-perfect suburb of Z rich. Though she leads a comfortable, well-appointed life, Anna is falling apart inside. Adrift and increasingly unable to connect with the emotionally unavailable Bruno or even with her own thoughts and feelings, Anna tries to rouse herself with new experiences: German language classes, Jungian analysis, and a series of sexual affairs she enters with an ease that surprises even her. But Anna can't easily extract herself from these affairs. When she wants to end them, she finds it's difficult. Tensions escalate, and her lies start to spin out of control. Having crossed a moral threshold, Anna will discover where a woman goes when there is no going back. Intimate, intense, and written with the precision of a Swiss Army knife, Jill Alexander Essbaum's debut novel is an unforgettable story of marriage, fidelity, sex, morality, and most especially self. Navigating the lines between lust and love, guilt and shame, excuses and reasons, Anna Benz is an electrifying heroine whose passions and choices readers will debate with recognition and fury. Her story reveals, with honesty and great beauty, how we create ourselves and how we lose ourselves and the sometimes disastrous choices we make to find ourselves. Praise for HausfrauElegant . . .
