The Journey from Abandonment to Healing by Susan Anderson

Few things can knock you on your back as hard as the end of a romantic relationship — or, as Susan Anderson calls it, an "involuntary separation." The loss and confusion can be so intense that it's physically painful, and even more difficult to imageine a future without the person you love.

While it's not a magical cure, this bestselling book acknowledges the deep ache of loss, applying Kübler-Ross's famous stages of grief to the experience of losing a relationship. Don't expect the typical "you-don't-need-that-jerk" chatter; this is seriously therapeutic, life-changing guidance. Whether you're in the midst of a rift or still reeling from a past hurt, this profound book can help you process your emotions, heal your emotional wounds, and eventually move toward a happier place.
