    About this ebook

    Grief is one of the most surprising emotions we experience. It can ultimately lead to healing and transformation, or it can devastate and paralyze us. How do we navigate our losses in a way that creates compassion and insight? Can grief be an important element in teaching us about life and its meaning?

    Grief - Mind Boggling, but Natural, part of the Get A Grip series by Derek O’Neill, guides you through an exploration of one of the most universal but difficult transitions we face. By looking at the nature of impermanence, the process of letting go, and karma and energy - among many other topics - Derek presents a deeply reflective but concise roadmap to understanding grief and shifting its effect in your life.

    Drawing on timeless teachings and practical tools for coping, GRIEF provides the wisdom and support we need during challenging times. Though our experiences are diverse, we can all gain from the positive, informed, and caring knowledge summarized in the Get A Grip books.

    Derek O'Neill

    An internationally acclaimed psychotherapist, motivational speaker, author, and humanitarian - Derek O'Neill is fondly referred to as the Celtic Sage. An Irish-born spiritual teacher who inspires and uplifts people from all walks of life, offering guidance to influential world leaders, businesses, celebrities, athletes and everyday people alike. Distilled from his life work, martial arts career and study with wise yogis and Indian and Tibetan masters, Derek translates ancient wisdom into modern day teachings to address the biggest challenges facing humanity today. Through his books, workshops, speaking engagements and humanitarian work, Derek empowers others to increase their Spiritual Quotient and activate their highest potential, so they can bring harmony, happiness, and success back into their personal and professional lives. Inspired by his world travels, he formed SQ Foundation, a charitable organization focused on helping communities in need. In recognition of his work, Derek was honored as Humanitarian of the Year and named International Celebrity Ambassador for Variety International Children’s Charity. He is founder and CEO of SQ Worldwide LP, a multifaceted wellness company committed to teaching individuals and corporations how to use untapped potential to transform themselves and the world around them. With his late wife Linda, he founded Creacon Wellness Retreat in Wexford, Ireland, a center for personal reflection, wellbeing, relaxation and self-exploration.

      Dedication

      To all who read this book, I salute you for wanting to change the way you live for the better and for having the courage to be who you are as fully as possible.

      To all who encourage me everyday to keep going and sharing their lives with me, family small and large. But most of all the little angels who came to teach me – Alexa and Blake, my grandchildren.

      Everybody hurts sometimes, and when we do it is nice to have Derek O’Neill around. His excellent little books on the things that get us, (fear, anger, depression, victimhood, mental blocks) allow us to find our way safely through our psychological minefields and arrive safely at the other side. Read them when you need them.
