The Myth of Closure: Ambiguous Loss in a Time of Pandemic and Change

This book provides a comprehensive guide on how to cope with loss that cannot be resolved, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The author, Pauline Boss, is a pioneering therapist who identifies these feelings of distress as ambiguous loss, which are losses that remain unclear and hard to pin down, thus having no closure.

The book offers strategies for coping with this type of loss by increasing tolerance of ambiguity, acknowledging resilience, and looking to the future with hope and possibility.

With a focus on the pandemic, the author provides a hopeful message to all who struggle to make sense of today's world.

The book is written beautifully and emotionally, tackling one of our most difficult challenges - how to grow through pain and suffering.
