You Are Not Alone by Debbie Augenthaler

You Are Not Alone by Debbie Augenthaler

Has someone you love died? Or have you experienced another kind of loss where you feel like a part of you has died? Do you feel like you're going crazy? You're not crazy. Do you feel alone in how you are experiencing your grief? Have people said things to you that cause you to feel like no one understands? Or do people say nothing at all? You're not alone. I've been there and felt all you are feeling and more.

When I was 36 years old my husband Jim died suddenly and unexpectedly, in my arms, of a heart attack. He had been healthy and vibrant - the doctors compared the probability of his death in this way to being struck by lightning. That lightning strike ended my life as I knew it, and thus began the baptism by fire that brought me to my new future.

When this happened, I thought my life was over. I thought I would never heal and felt hopeless about the future. If someone told me I would heal and be happy again I would not have believed them. Yet here I am, living a life filled with love, hope, and meaning.

This is my story of loss, healing, and the spiritual journey that led me to know that love never dies. This book is about hope. As hard as it might be for you to believe right now, I want you to know: you will heal, you will not only survive, but you can thrive and find joy and meaning in your new life. This may not be the life you had before; but it is still your life to live.

Augenthaler, Debbie: - Debbie is a psychotherapist with a private practice in New York City, where she has specialized in trauma, grief, and loss. Interweaving eastern philosophy, energy healing, and spiritual practices from cultures around the world, Debbie bridges together traditions of ancient and modern, east and west, the wisdom of the ages, and the many different ways people have ritualized grief and healing. She uses time-honored practices to inform the tools she shares with readers and clients. Debbie holds a deep curiosity and interest in how people have been dealing with grief and loss since the beginning of time. She helps normalize common feelings and experiences for people who are grieving, and holds space for each of us to experience grief in our own way and time, because grief is not linear. There are many gifts that accompany loss, including spiritual awakenings, discovering the connection with forever love, developing deep compassion, and grateful appreciation for the blessings along the way - from grief to healing to transformation and joy. Debbie has walked this path throughout her life and wants to help you on your path from grief to joy. Prior to becoming a therapist she had a successful career in the financial industry for over twenty years. Debbie has a Master's Degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University and completed a two year post-graduate Advanced Trauma Studies program at the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy. In 2012 she received the NYU Steinhardt Award for Outstanding Clinical Service. With the connection of a shared experience, Debbie guides the reader through grief to transformation and a new beginning.
