Reclaim Your Sexuality After Loss
An Honest Approach to Hard Questions: Sex is complicated at the best of timesbut when were overcome by grief, its especially mysterious and confusing. How do we nurture ourselves as sexual beings when were grieving the death of a partner? Why does taking care of ourselves sexually matter at a time when wed rather hide under the covers and wail? How do we know when its time to open ourselves to the sexual phase of a new relationship? And how do we do it?
A Grief Book like No Other: Sex after Grief is the first book to address sex and grief together and treat sex as a normal, positive, life-affirming part of emerging from such a difficult time. Joan Price, the top expert on senior sex, draws on her own experiences as a widow since 2008, when she lost the love of her life to cancer. She shares her raw grief journey, sexual reawakening (and the many stumbles along the way), and attempts to dip back into dating, along with excellent advice on handling each step.
Recovery on Your Own Timeline, in Your Own Way: As Price says, theres no right or wrong method or timeline for bringing our sexuality back into into our lives, whether its with our own hands, a friend with benefits, a hook-up, a new companion, or any combination. Sex After Grief includes a variety of peoples personal stories from folks of all genders and orientations. Some jumped into sex quickly. Some took years. Some withdrew from sexual possibility. No one was wrong, and no choice is defective or shameful.
Sex After Grief includes:
- Inspiring tales of how different people brought sex back into their lives after the loss of their spouse or partner
- Guidelines for dating again and getting sexual with a new person
- Reasons that solo sex is healthy and can be the path to feeling sexual again
- Advice from therapists, grief counselors, and sex coaches
- Self-help takeaways for creating an action plan

Recenzijas
We predict that this will be one of the most important books to have been published around death and dying. Joan's words are delivered with kindness and her advice is true to the heart. There are two things in life that can change you: the books you read and the people you meet. Do yourself a favour, grab a copy of Sex After Grief. We believe that this book is relevant to anyone who has experienced loss of a partner, not just from death, but also as a result of the end of a relationship. - The Spicy Boudior Youtube Show
