Licensed grief and trauma therapist Gina Moffa illuminates a non-linear path through grief, with tools and practices to grieve at your own pace and use loss as a catalyst for a more connected, meaningful life moving forward—perfect for readers of Grief Day by Day and It's OK That You're Not OK. 
 
After nearly two decades of clinical experience and her own journey after losing her mother to cancer, Gina Moffa, LCSW offers knows all too well how disorienting, painful, and lonely grief can be. In Moving on Doesn’t Mean Letting Go, she offers a heartfelt, practical map through loss—one that can shift the pain of your grief even when things feel unpredictable and overwhelming. With her help you’ll learn to:
  • Navigate the initial shock of the “griefall”
  • Recognize your unique grief rhythm
  • Get in touch with your needs, feelings, and boundaries
  • Mange social media and interactions with the outside world
  • Connect mind and body through somatic exercises and self-reflections
    • Gina gives readers permission to grieve authentically—with none of the toxic positivity that bypasses the possibility of true healing and transformation—because you don’t have to choose between falling apart or staying strong. You can learn to be empowered by the very thing you imagined would swallow you whole.
    “A must read. Help your mind feel less heavy and open the door to deep personal growth" —Yung Pueblo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lighter and Clarity & Connection.

        Licensed therapist Moffa's book is anchored in both her professional experience and her personal navigation of loss. She makes grief nameable, providing a lexicon that many people lack, by using words her clients have used ("grief mess") and her own phrases ("grieffall"). Moffa also strikes a beautiful balance between compassion and the recognition that many struggling with loss recoil against the words people have for describing it. This is a highly personal book, full of stories from individuals Moffa has worked with over the years and from her own life, which gives readers a sense of shared solitude and unspoken or invisible yet powerful community in loss. She also provides pause points and safety checks to ensure that readers are prepared to encounter the feelings and experiences she discusses. There's nothing easy about loss, and Moffa doesn't sugarcoat that. Instead, she shows how difficult it is--and how valuable it can be to accept that, while also integrating loss into a new state of being so that readers can move forward without a sense of guilt or shame. VERDICT Highly recommended for anyone working through personal or collective loss, such as that caused by the COVID pandemic.--Emily Bowles
