Heart & grief
Divorce is a loss, even when it was the right decision. You lose a person, a routine, a home and a future you’d pictured, and often friendships and family ties along with them. Grief researchers describe healthy grief as moving back and forth, not through neat stages. So a good week followed by a hard Tuesday isn’t going backwards.
Start with Heart & griefOur approach
Heart & grief helps you stay with a feeling long enough for it to move, grieve on purpose instead of all the time, and find a healthy approach to anger.
What happens inside
The Heart & grief pathSome important steps on your guided path:
Practices you can use in the moment, including RAIN, Sit with it and The letter you’ll never send.
Ideas that make sense of it, like ambiguous loss and the “secondary losses” nobody counts.
The moments almost everyone goes through, named so you know you’re not the only one: missing them and feeling relieved in the same hour, the closure that never comes, and the person they’ve become.
More than 40 books, podcasts, talks and articles, from leading grief researchers, psychologists who study heartbreak and attachment, bestselling authors on loss, meditation teachers, and divorce coaches who’ve walked thousands of people through it.
You won’t have to dig through 40 books to find the right one. Switchbacks gets to know what you’re carrying: how it ended, where you are in it, what you’ve already read and what helped. Then it brings you the piece that fits this week. Early on, that might be a short read on why grief comes in waves. Months later, it might be something about rebuilding.
When a wave hits, at any hour, Sessions helps you name what’s underneath and stays with it. Then it offers a practice or a piece that fits, and saves it to For you.
