Getting older means we're no longer as quick or as strong as we used to be. A chronic illness or disability wrecks our plans and sense of self. Maybe no matter what strict diet we follow, we still fall short of society's forever-changing beauty standards. And so we blame our bodies for having betrayed us--when this couldn't be farther from the truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYet this is Body Grief: the sense of loss and sorrow of living in a body that changes, often without our say. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThis Is Body Grief\u003c\/i\u003e, Jayne Mattingly offers a healing path through Body Grief so you can feel at home in the skin you're in. Having navigated Body Grief as both an eating disorder recovery coach and as a newly chronically ill and disabled person and advocate, Mattingly walks readers through the range of complex emotions that encompasses this experience with intimate understanding and compassion, starting with dismissal, shock, and anger. Ultimately, she shows your body has never been, is not, and will never be against you. Self-love begins when you learn to trust and work in tandem with your body as it is in this very moment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough the journey through Body Grief may not be linear, \u003ci\u003eThis Is Body Grief \u003c\/i\u003eshows it's possible to feel at peace with the skin you're in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jayne Mattingly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0593656792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593656792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Life\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.72d","brand":"Jayne Mattingly","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45981083566335,"sku":"9780593656792","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_00c5394a-a68c-412d-a139-fc717580361f.jpg?v=1722417681","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/this-is-body-grief-jayne-mattingly-9780593656792","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
