The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Unlocking Intuition: Discover Your Inner Wisdom with Kathy Knowles

The Hole in Your Life: Grief and Bereavement by Bob Rich https://www.amazon.com/Hole-Your-Life-Grief-Bereavement/dp/B0FFK9MBKR https://bobrich18.wordpress.com/ GriefThe 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.
