You Will Be Alright: A Guide to Navigating Grief

Grief is overwhelming, unpredictable and deeply personal. Everyone goes through it, yet we are almost never prepared for it when it comes.

In You Will Be Alright, Sonali Gupta addresses the silence that surrounds grief, talks about the myths around loss and builds a vocabulary about what we are feeling when we grieve. The book talks about how grief shows up physically and emotionally for us, and also what the first few days of loss look like. It addresses practical concerns such as grieving in a digital age and the challenges around sorting deceased's possessions, and topics such as closure, grief integration and more.

You Will Be Alright is intended to serve as an anchor for those dealing with grief and those supporting someone who is dealing with grief.
