  From one of the leading grief therapists, this compassionate and accessible guide to grieving offers a new framework for understanding and navigating loss.An intimate guide to grieving that offers hope and healing within loss from one of the nation’s top grief therapists.    Conscious Grieving is a book for anyone seeking guidance and support after loss. Renowned grief therapist Claire Bidwell Smith combines her deeply personal experience of loss with her long career spent working with thousands of people to introduce a new approach to grief, one that promotes hope and even transformation.   What does it mean to grieve consciously? Most of the time, when we lose someone we love, it feels like grief is just happening to us. We feel out of control, and overwhelmed. Claire reminds us that while loss is something that inevitably happens to all of us, how we choose to grieve is up to us. When we can consciously engage with our grief, rather than avoiding it, we can access profound pathways to healing.  Presented in a series of thoughtful, brief vignettes that don’t overwhelm the reader, Conscious Grieving offers a new framework for each stage of grief: Entering, Engaging, Surrendering, and Transforming. Entering – staying present and taking care of ourselves as we navigate the shock and upheaval of a new loss.  Engaging – navigating that first year after a loss by staying in tune with our needs as more complicated feelings of depression, guilt or anger surface. Surrendering – facing the changes to our identity and who we are becoming in the face of loss. Transforming – through ritual, honor, hope, and grace, and learning to carry our grief with intention so that we can continue to grow, heal, and thrive.  Grief asks a lot from us. But the ability to grieve is a birthright. We grieve throughout our lifetimes. We grieve the deaths of loved ones yes, but also moves, divorce, illness, injustice, time lost, changes in the world and healing from these losses requires that we evaluate everything we ever considered meaningful. Healing means making our lives worth the pain we endure when we lose someone we love. And transforming through grief is an opportunity afforded to all.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  What if the most important warrior in Japanese history was never supposed to be there? 
  Torn from his homeland on the shores of Mozambique, Zuberi thought his story was over. Enslaved by Portuguese raiders, forced into military service, shipwrecked on foreign shores—every twist of fate seemed designed to destroy him. 
  But destiny had other plans. 
  In feudal Japan, where honor is everything and outsiders are nothing, one man's courage will defy tradition, challenge an empire, and forge an alliance that history forgot to remember. 
  From the blood-soaked beaches of East Africa to the cherry blossom gardens of Kyoto, The Forgotten Warrior reveals the extraordinary true-to-life tale of how a Mozambican slave became a samurai legend—and how his choices shaped the course of two nations forever. 
  Some warriors are born to greatness. Others have greatness thrust upon them. 
  But the greatest warriors are forged in the fires of the impossible. 
  "A masterpiece of historical fiction that brings forgotten voices to vivid life."
