Goodreads synopsis: 

Theresa Caputo, TLC’s Long Island Medium and the three-time New York Times bestselling author, teaches us how to ritualize and recover from the daily losses in our lives.

Life on earth comes with losses that often go unrecognized, unacknowledged, and un-mourned. This invisible pain causes deeper emotional damage— devastation that Theresa Caputo has witnessed in many of her clients. Though they are suffering, they rarely understand where the anguish is coming from—or how to deal with it. 

Theresa’s clients often confuse their emotional distress with depression or anxiety. But it’s more than that. It’s grief, deep and profound, and it consumes the soul. The only relief, according to Theresa’s special gift she calls Spirit, is to pay more attention to how we experience, ritualize, and recover from the hurt in our lives.

Once we name these feelings of grief, recognize the losses for what they are, and create mourning rituals around them, we can move through the pain and begin to heal. It isn’t just a good idea to mourn these types of upsets; it’s essential, so that we can then enjoy a fresh beginning.

In Good Mourning, Theresa opens up more than ever before, and with the help of Spirit, helps us manage daily losses to ultimately lead more fulfilling and joyful lives.

4.5 stars

I have always been fascinated by the New Jersey Psychic dubbed the Long Island Medium. She seems like a fascinating person. So, when this book came up to review, I jumped on it. Little did I realize that my own mother would pass away in the meantime. I found this book hard to read when I was in the midst of my struggles. But once I had some distance a few months later (like four months later) I found this book quite a comfort.

Theresa gives us a lot of great ideas in here that really hit home hard for me. If you are going through something, this definitely has a lot to offer and suggest. I loved how many avenues this book went into and get get a great glimpse into her life as well to show us that we are not alone and we can move forward when things knock us on our butts.

I will definitely look for more books written by this great lady in the future!
