Grief is a sneaky bitch

an uncensored guide to navigating loss
Lisa Keefauver
Book - 2024

"Grief. We've all experienced it. And if we're lucky, we've had support to find our way through it. In her book Grief is a Sneaky Bitch, Lisa Keefauver wants to provide that support through her expertise as a social worker and her own deeply personal experience of loss. Keefauver's advice is framed around the concept of the 5 Ws of grief: why you are grieving, what type of grief, who is grieving, where grief comes from and where it goes, and when we grieve. Building from her podcast of the same name, Keefauver asserts that we live in a grief-illiterate world and offers her readers "a place, time, and space to be seen, validated, and accompanied in your grief." The book is organized into short, manageable parts that address themes like time, relationships with others, stories, and grief skills. It is designed to be flexible, so the book can be read from cover to cover or readers can choose the pieces that will help them best since chapters have been crafted to be read in any order"-- Provided by publisher.
