I Lost My Husband & Thought I’d Never Smile Again: Healing After Grief

The depth of grief measures the height of love. Breaking down or crying for losing a loved one isn’t a “negative” emotion. It is part of the journey. When the time is right, you will realize that it is possible to be sad and yet create a magical life for yourself at the same time. Jan Warner has been going through this journey since her husband, Artie, passed. As a result of her deep grief over losing her beloved husband, she created Grief Speaks Out , which is now a flourishing Facebook community of over two million people worldwide. She also emerged from the experience to pen the bestselling book titled Grief by Day: Simple Practices and Daily Guidance for Living with Loss , which provides 365 daily reflections, weekly themes, and 52 healing exercises to help its readers to make peace with their grief one day at a time.
