The only book to examine loss as a necessary experience for personal growth, "Necessary Loss" takes readers through the typical moments of loss throughout life--from maternal separation to shifting friendships, from divorce to old age. First published in 1986, this life-affirming, life-changing, and timeless book is filled with wise and witty insights into how we all must adjust to the changes that are an inevitable part of life.
The Bestselling Classic on Love, Loss, and Letting Go
In "Necessary Losses, " Judith Viorst turns her considerable talents to a serious and far-reaching subject: how we grow and change through the losses that are an inevitable and necessary part of life. She argues persuasively that through the loss of our mothers' protection, the loss of the impossible expectations we bring to relationships, the loss of our younger selves, and the loss of our loved ones through separation and death, we gain deeper perspective, true maturity, and fuller wisdom about life. She has written a book that is both life affirming and life changing.
