In this book, pioneering therapist Pauline Boss identifies these vague feelings of distress as caused by ambiguous loss, losses that remain unclear and hard to pin down, and thus have no closure. Collectively the world is grieving as the pandemic continues to change our everyday lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With a loss of trust in the world as a safe place, a loss of certainty about health care, education, employment, lingering anxieties plague many of us, even as parts of the world are opening back up again. Yet after so much loss, our search must be for a sense of meaning, and not something as elusive and impossible as \"closure.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book provides many strategies for coping: encouraging us to increase our tolerance of ambiguity and acknowledging our resilience as we express a normal grief, and still look to the future with hope and possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pauline Boss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1324016817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324016816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
