Finding Solace:

A Compassionate Guide to Growing Through Grief and Remembering Wholeness

 

Grief is not a problem to be solved. It is a love to be carried.

 

When loss shatters your world, you may hear well-meaning voices telling you to "move on," "stay strong," or "look for the silver lining." But grief doesn't work that way. It cannot be rushed, fixed, or bypassed. It can only be lived—and lived with.

 

In Finding Solace, Lisa M. Lee offers a compassionate, comprehensive guide for anyone navigating the complex landscape of loss. Drawing from decades of personal experience and professional accompaniment of grievers, she walks beside you through every stage of the journey—from the raw shock of early grief to the slow, transformative work of integrating loss into a life fully lived.

 

This book will help you:

 

• Understand the many faces of grief—from openly acknowledged losses to quietly disenfranchised ones, and everything in between

• Navigate the physical reality of grief—the fatigue, brain fog, and bodily sensations that accompany deep sorrow

• Find practical tools for daily living—rituals, routines, and somatic practices that anchor you when everything feels unmoored

• Communicate your needs and hold space for others, with guidance on what helps and what hurts

• Deepen your spiritual understanding—whether you're wrestling with faith, experiencing the "dark night of the soul," or seeking connection beyond the veil

• Discover the art of carrying—learning to grow around your grief rather than waiting for it to shrink

 

But Finding Solace goes further. It invites you into a deeper inquiry—into the part of you that has always been whole, the part that grief itself cannot touch. With gentle wisdom and unflinching honesty, Lee explores what it means to return to Christ consciousness: not as religious doctrine, but as a universal remembrance of who you truly are.

 

Through expanded chapters on continuing bonds, post-traumatic growth, wounded healing, and leaving a legacy of love, this book becomes more than a guide—it becomes a companion for the longest journey you will ever take.

 

Whether you are newly bereaved or years into your grief, whether you are supporting a loved one or seeking your own path through darkness, Finding Solace offers what you need most: permission to grieve in your own way, tools to carry what you must, and the quiet assurance that you are not alone.

 

Because the deepest truth grief teaches us is this:

 

love is the only thing that lasts. And the only adequate response to love is to love.
