Rosa Mariana Brea Franco has just published a new book on how to cope with grief and loss. The book “Comprensión del duelo en el Siglo XXI. Nuevas perspectivas” will be launched on Thursday, 4 May 2017 at the Biblioteca Nacional auditorium at 7pm.
In an interview in Diario Libre, Brea says the book goes beyond the loss experienced with the death of a loved one and focuses on other kinds of losses. These include when losing a job, or position at work, and aging issues, such as the loss of skills needed for everyday living. Brea also identifies as losses when a child discovers his father is a drug trafficker, or when a spouse discovers a homosexual partner, or the separation that occurs when a loved person is sent to jail.
Brea Franco says there is no closure for a loss. She says one can only reach a stage of being at peace with the loss. “You cannot close a part of your own story,” she explains.
