Vera Darax draws upon psychological insights, cultural traditions, and lived experiences to dismantle the myths that surround grief—such as the idea that time alone heals all wounds, or that “moving on” means forgetting. Instead, this book reframes grief as a profound expression of love, a process of integration rather than erasure. Healing is not about closing the door on the past, but about finding the courage to carry your loss in ways that reshape and strengthen you.
