5.0 out of 5 stars Grief Takes on a New Role after Reading this Book
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2015

This was a book I could not put down once I started it. Ms. Eggleston's words and guidance spoke to so many feelings of grief and loss I have endured in my life.

In 2003, when I received the phone call in school that one of my son's friends was killed, a special young man who felt like a second son to me, my heart dove into a very deep and dark place. The author mentions that place often in her book. As I read her words, all the conversations and thoughts I experienced, and the type of tears came back in what felt like a hurricane whoosh. The author's words brought a lot back to my mind and heart when she wrote about the dreaded first year. I wish I would have had this book's guidance back then when life was smothering us all.

As I read the book, it felt like the author and I are a lot alike. When she wrote about Type A tendencies, and giving to be noticed, and always doing what is right and expected, and being busy, focused, and involved, and sometimes showing up robotic in doing all that I need to do and do it perfectly, it all spoke to me and got my soul's attention.

My takeaway as well as how I will handle grief using it in a transformative catalyst will be to slow down...to hold hands...to look into the eyes of the people I love.

I gave a copy of A New Mourning to the mother of my son's friend who we lost twelve years ago and ordered another book for one of my other friends who lost her brother to cancer when he was in his early-twenties. This new way to mourn, which the author so eloquently describes and models, I trust will be medicine for her as well.

This book took loving courage to write. The author shares her painful story of the loss of her fifteen and a half year-old son. The way Ms. Eggleston consoles the rest of us through her tragedy is truly a gift given from one mother's soul to another.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible book for all on grief and healing!

I finished Georgena's book quickly. I am deeply moved by it and I am in gratitude for ALL that Georgena has offered to me by writing A New Mourning and to all who will be enlightened by it! My heart goes out to Georgena and the journey she has traveled with grief. As a parent of a 17 year old, the death of a child is THE loss that parents talk about in whispers and we all ask ourselves, "How could I survive that?" Thank you, Georgena, for sharing your deepest darkest journey in such detail and wisdom and for giving us the tools needed to survive what seems like an unsurvivable loss. You have taught us HOW to move through grief. There is a way and it is by being with grief as it presents itself in our body through sensation. You have taught us how to ask our grief what it needs and to listen and trust the answer. I carry with me your words, "When we lean in and listen to grief, we can move through it." Thank you for your guidance, brilliance, and inspiration! Everyone should read this incredible book on grief and healing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Setting a place for grief at the table
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2015

A culture, like an individual, is haunted by what cannot be acknowledged. We try to deny grief by making it the domain of "specialists" and shun the "victims" of grief out of our own fear. The result is our failure to come to terms with aging, loss and death until they overtake us personally. Georgena shows us that grief must be embodied for it to be transformative instead of limiting. She describes what such a process feels like from the inside.

As an example of this, I discovered while reading this book that my way of dealing with divorce was to see my ex-wife as if she were dead. This provided a way for me to deny my internal conflict about the loss of a friend and partner which came as part of the divorce. Seeing this allowed me to look honestly at the part of me that didn't want a divorce.

I would recommend this book to you if you have experienced a loss that has haunted you. It may be your time to invite grief in from the cold and set it a place at your table.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gem of a Grief Guide
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2015

A New Mourning is a gem of a little book on a big topic. Four years ago, when my husband of more than forty years died, I searched for a book to help me with my grief. Now my friend Georgena Eggleston has written what I was looking for. With courage, honesty and openness, she tells not only the story of her son’s death, but also of her struggle to keep from drowning in grief. What makes her book exceptional is her perspective. It is sixteen years since Reed died and she has learned so much more that the newly bereaved do not yet know. Eggleston has discovered how to release the gifts in grief and made the experience transformative. She lets you peak through the door of her Rubenfeld Synergy® training and learn about how talk and touch can help reintegrate bodymind after loss and trauma, and she shares with you, her reader, the tools she has developed for herself and her clients, so you will not be without a guide through your grief.

Gratitude laps on the shore of each dawning day, waiting for me to notice. Today I finished reading Georgena Eggleston’s new book: A New Mourning: Discovering the Gifts in Grief. I am grateful for the divine leading that Georgena followed so diligently in order to bring light to grievers and the Rubenfeld Synergy Method to the world. I love how generously she has shared the intimacies of her profound journey through darkness to brilliant light. Her descriptions of her initial responses to the healing of Listening Touch are tender and vivid, supporting lay readers as well as Synergists. Thank you, Georgena, for your wise and guiding way of sharing your sacred experiences. Bonnie Muller
