Soulbroken

A Guidebook for Your Journey Through Ambiguous Grief

By: Stephanie Sarazin

Narrated by: Soneela Nankani, Stephanie Sarazin

Expanding on Pauline Boss’s seminal work on ambiguous loss, this book explores the complications and deviations from traditional grief when mourning a loss, but not a death—and offers real solutions for healing.

Grief isn't always the result of something finite, marking a death or complete end. Soul-shattering grief can also be activated by a dramatic shift in an important relationship, such as a divorce or significant breakup, a life-changing medical diagnosis, or a broken connection with an addicted child. How do we grieve people who are still alive, but no longer who they once were to us?

Most people will experience this type of traumatic event over the course of their lifetime, yet the complications of these situations often leave grievers feeling alienated or ashamed. Soulbroken is a guidebook that recognizes this often-misunderstood grief, validates the unique challenges posed by its ambiguity, and champions tools for healing. In it, Stephanie Sarazin presents the ambiguous grief process, offering insights to help listeners better understand the nuances of their grief experience when a loved one is not lost to death. With intimate stories of others' path to recovery using Sarazin's advice, this book will help anyone ready to find a way through their own grief, regardless of where they are on their journey.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Grief with a Body!

This book gave a word for a reality that a lot of people I coach deal with daily. Ambiguous Grief- grief without a body. Divorce, an estranged child a relationship gone wrong, a dream that died, and deep sadness - grief that does not have to do with actual physical death.

My experience with North American Society is that we do not grieve well. We say rather stupid things like - time heals all wounds, God needed another angel, S/he did not deserve you anyway!

Grief unexpressed festers- like a nasty infection. It oozes out of the corners of our eyes in unshed tears, drips down our noses in colds that seem to come from nowhere or explodes in anger that feels safer than the sadness that grief brings.

Stephanie brilliantly and gently walks the reader through the phases of her own death without a body.
Soulbroken serves as a compassionate guide for those navigating the murky waters of ambiguous grief, offering validation and practical advice. While it approaches grief from a contemporary perspective, its themes resonate with the timeless human experiences depicted in biblical narratives, underscoring the universal nature of mourning and the enduring quest for healing.

Thank you Stephanie for giving life to something that seemed so dead.

LOVED this book!!

I’ve listened to this book twice and still get valuable info. Very easy to listen to. I sped the narrator up a tad to 1.1 and it reads better. Great book!

Narration is rough to get through, but content is

The book itself is amazing however the narration on the audio side is rough to get through. I'm on the first chapter and can't listen anymore, I'll just read the book.
