TEN THINGS TO DO WHEN YOUR LIFE FALLS APART New Book Offers Sustenance and Comfort for Turbulent Times
Add layoffs, foreclosures, shrunken 401(k)s, and skyrocketing health care costs to the inevitable crises of every life, and you have today’s landscape, one in which even those who thought they had solid coping skills feel that their center is losing its grip as things fall apart. In The Ten Things to Do When Your Life Falls Apart: An Emotional and Spiritual Handbook beloved bestselling author and six-time Oprah guest Daphne Rose Kingma speaks to thirsty-for-sustenance readers with her trademark depth and compassion. Like the perfect combination of empathic friend, sage counselor, savvy problem solver, and even gallows humorist, she looks straight into the predicaments so many face and then offers ten deceptively simple yet profoundly effective strategies for addressing despair on practical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Here’s a small sampling of the book’s supportive wisdom:
Cry Your Heart Out — When life is hard, when you’re in crisis, the reason you should cry is not because you’re weak but because crying holds the power of healing. Tears, in fact, are the vehicle for transformation.
Do Something Different — Different circumstances call on us to be different. To grow or die. To
expand or contract. To fly or get lost in the rubble. As our world changes, we must change. When our circumstances are altered, we must alter our responses to them.
Integrate Your Loss — In order to get through the crisis you’re in, you will have to accept what has
happened and then integrate it into the fabric of your life. Your integration of the content and the meaning of the crisis will be the sign, the hallmark, that you are moving through this challenge.
As few other writers can, Kingma connects. She takes the reader by the hand, so that they feel, deal, and heal together. Though the difficult, even devastating, events cannot be changed, the sufferer is, having recovered a sense of efficacy, equilibrium, spirit, and strength. As she writes in the book’s introduction, “It is my hope that the 10 Things will help you heal your heart, awaken your soul, and deliver you to the liberation that occurs when you understand the larger meaning of your life.” About the Author Daphne Rose Kingma is the author of The Ten Things to Do When Your Life Falls Apart.
