Grief overload is what one feels when they ex- perience too many sig- nificant losses all at once, in a relatively short pe- riod of time, or cumu- latively. In addition to the deaths of loved ones, such losses can also in- clude divorce, estrange- ment, illness, relocation, job changes, and more. Their minds and hearts have enough trouble cop- ing with a single loss, so when the losses pile up, the grief often seems es- pecially chaotic and de- feating. In this compassionate and unique guide, Dr. Alan Wolfelt, one of the world’s most respected and beloved grief counselors and educators, shares the most impor- tant lessons he has learned from those who’ve picked up the pieces while liv- ing with grief overload. The book also explores common thoughts and feel- ings, the six needs of mourning, self- care essentials, finding hope, and more. Too Much Loss: Coping with Grief Overload is part of Companion Press’s Words of Hope and Healing series— empathetic books on grief and other loss-related topics, with just the right amount of education and support. Author, educator, and grief counselor Dr. Alan Wolfelt serves as director of the Center for Loss and Life Transi- tion in Fort Collins, CO. The author of Grief One Day at a Time, First Aid for Broken Hearts, Understanding Your Grief, and many other books for grief caregivers and mourners, Dr. Wolfelt is committed to helping people mourn well so they can live well and love well. He is available for interviews. Too Much Loss: Coping with Grief Overload is available in both softcover and e-book formats. To order and to learn more about Dr. Wolfelt’s books on grief and loss, visit www.centerforloss.com or call 970-226-6050.
