Grief can leave you wondering whether the intensity, confusion, and unpredictability of what you are experiencing mean that something is wrong with you. You're Not Broken—You're Grieving offers a compassionate, practical explanation of why grief affects the mind, body, relationships, identity, and everyday life so deeply.

Drawing on years of grief-support experience, James R. Petersen addresses the difficult moments that are often minimized or misunderstood: emotional swings, exhaustion, anger, guilt, loneliness, changed relationships, unexpected triggers, and the pressure to grieve according to someone else's timetable.

This is not a promise of quick closure or a formula for "getting over" loss. It is a steady companion for understanding what grief is doing, responding to its hardest moments, and finding ways to carry loss without believing you are failing. Whether your loss is recent or many years old, this book offers reassurance, perspective, and practical support for the road you are actually walking.
