When a loved one dies suddenly - on the nature of grief and the power of moving onThe death of a loved one - a partner, a child, a close family member - is a deeply upsetting event that changes lives forever. Often this loss is accompanied by speechlessness. Because the pain is too great, too consuming. And because death and mourning are still tacitly taboo in our society. In her SPIEGEL bestseller "Dieser Mensch war ich," Christiane zu Salm collected obituaries of dying people about their own lives and moved many readers. Now, in her new book, she gives voice with great empathy to those who have found the strength to go on living after a loved one has been torn from their side. An often disturbing, always moving book of exemplary courage and existential honesty.
