The Hole in Your
Life: Grief and Bereavement
by Dr. Bob Rich, PhD
Genre: Nonfiction, Inspirational Self-Help
The Hole in Your Life by Dr. Bob Rich is a
heartfelt, practical guide to understanding grief and healing from it. Rooted
in personal experience-most notably the loss of his daughter, Natalie-and
decades of psychological counseling, Dr. Rich offers readers compassionate
tools for navigating bereavement. Drawing on real-life case studies,
mindfulness techniques, and the "seven magic bullets" for wellbeing,
he explores the complexities of grief, from anticipatory sorrow to finding
meaning and renewal. Blending storytelling, humor, and therapeutic insight,
this book serves as both a comfort and a roadmap for anyone experiencing loss,
emphasizing that while grief is unique and unpredictable, growth and peace are
possible.
"Thank you for asking me to read The Hole in
Your Life. Its insights will help countless people struggling with loss. I
recently lost my youngest sister, and it was a blessing to read your thoughts
on the paths I can take toward remembering her in healthy ways." --
Georgiann Baldino, author of A Family and Nation under Fire, and other books
"Dr Bob Rich's The Hole in Your Life is
written from the heart. It shares his personal experience and many case studies
with his clients, making research-based recommendations on how to process grief
in a very readable and easy-to-apply manner." -- Dr David Morawetz,
counselling psychologist, grief counsellor, and founder and director, Social
Justice Fund
"Grief is something that touches everyone's life at
some point or another, so it only makes sense to empower ourselves with the
tools to cope-and who better to learn from than Dr. Bob Rich, a psychologist
with decades of experience helping patients overcome a wide variety of life's
problems, including of course, grief." -- I. C. Robledo, a bestselling
author and editor in self-development.
"The Hole in Your Life is a good toolbox
for coping with grief and I agree with all of it. Among the points that
resonated with me most deeply are these ideas: grief is part of our life
experience, so let's not be afraid of it; it is easier to recover from grief if
you grieve before the person dies and suffer with them; and, that only way to
learn from loss with meaning is through suffering, as long as it is not
self-inflicted." -- Alfredo Zotti, author of Music Therapy: An
Introduction with case studies for mental illness recovery.

Tina, thank you for hosting my book. I’ll keep coming back to chat with your visitors and am happy to answer questions and for them to question my answers. The Hole in Your Life is my 20th book. I have a long term policy that anyone subscribing to my blog, Bobbing Around https://bobrich18.wordpress.com can request a free electronic copy of one of them. And anyone buying one of my books can get a free copy of a second title. (I don’t expect many people will want to copies of the same one.) So, hey, you can score two!
ReplyDeleteAlthough this book is about dealing with grief, it is easy reading. After all, life is too short for the seriousness it deserves. My aim is to make this planet a better place to live on, insofar as that is in my power, and I hope to make lots of friends in the process.
I am back again to check if anyone wants to chat with me. Reminds me of this:
ReplyDeleteOne day, I was walking down the stair
When I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today--
I wish to hell he'd go away!

I’ll poke my nose in here from time to time and will be delighted to answer questions, and you are welcome to question my answers.
ReplyDeleteAs you can see, I have no sense of humor but am a grumpy old man.
It’s just that fun is one of the 7 magic bullets that shoot down depression, anxiety and suchlike monsters.
One of the rules of the Universe is, the more you give, the more you get, and also the more you give, the more you grow. It is my joy if I can reduce suffering, but no good being serious about it. Being lighthearted lights up anything.
