Reviews
"We all need an opportunity to sit gently and thoughtfully with our grief. Consider this book your invitation." -- Rachel Cargle, author of A Renaissance of Her Own "In a world that teaches us to ignore, control, or conquer our bodies, Jayne Mattingly intervenes with a much-needed revision to the default framework. Through her own hard-earned wisdom and professional expertise, she offers us language and tools to mend the fractured relationships we've developed with our own bodies. She guides us--gently, powerfully, and tangibly--through the process of building a sturdy home within the only bodies we'll ever have--a desperately needed map for every single one of us." -- Rebekah Taussig, PhD, author of Sitting Pretty "I laughed, I cried, and I related all while reading This Is Body Grief . Jayne beautifully articulates the universal feeling of Body Grief and explores it on both macro and micro levels. It is the perfect blend of informative and vulnerable." -- Jacqueline Child, co-founder of Dateability "As a Black disabled woman, Body Grief is my daily story. Mattingly reminds us that 'without storytelling there is no healing,' validating why it is important to listen to the stories our bodies tell us. Read this book to heal in your own way. To be angry. To share. To accept. To celebrate and to love your body unconditionally amongst the continuous grief it brings." --Dr. Akilah Cadet, MPH, author of White Supremacy Is All Around "Beautifully written and unapologetically honest, This Is Body Grief not only dismantles the false narrative that our bodies are against us, but offers a compassionate path through the messy landscape of grief turned inwards. This book is for anyone who's ever felt uncomfortable in their own skin and wants to reclaim their sense of self." -- Ciera Rogers, founder of Babes and author of The Outsider Advantage, "We all need an opportunity to sit gently and thoughtfully with our grief.

Synopsis
"We all need an opportunity to sit gently and thoughtfully with our grief. Consider this book your invitation."--Rachel Cargle, author of A Renaissance of Her Own A guide to living and making peace with your ever-changing body Have you ever felt like your body has failed you? Maybe you're not as quick or as strong as you used to be, or an illness has wrecked your sense of self, or no matter what diet you follow, you still feel uncomfortable in your own skin. So you go to war with your body for what it can no longer do--when the truth is, our bodies are always on our side. In This Is Body Grief , disability advocate and recovery expert Jayne Mattingly lays out a groundbreaking approach to mourning and accepting one's ever-changing body. Like all grief, she says, Body Grief cannot be overcome but felt in all its complexity. Dismantling the narrative that your body is "against you," she presents new ways to cope with your body's fluctuating abilities with self-compassion and grace. Along the way, she walks you through the seven stages of Body Grief--from dismissal, shock, and self-blame to hopelessness and hope, and eventual body trust--offering wisdom for how to make space for each difficult emotion as it arises. Sharing stories from everyday people in the throes of Body Grief as well as her own journey as a newly-disabled woman--from the first of many harrowing hospital visits that resulted in her own life-altering diagnosis, to having to use a rollator on her wedding day because she could no longer walk safely on her own, to accepting the need for a hysterectomy in her early 30s--Mattingly shows that although healing isn't a linear journey, it begins when we trust and work in tandem with our bodies., A path to making peace with your ever-changing body At one time or another, all of us have grieved our bodies as they once were. Getting older means we're no longer as quick or as strong as we used to be. A chronic illness or disability wrecks our plans and sense of self. Maybe no matter what strict diet we follow, we still fall short of society's forever-changing beauty standards. And so we blame our bodies for having betrayed us-when this couldn't be farther from the truth. Yet this is Body Grief- the sense of loss and sorrow of living in a body that changes, often without our say. In This Is Body Grief , Jayne Mattingly offers a healing path through Body Grief so you can feel at home in the skin you're in. Having navigated Body Grief as both an eating disorder recovery coach and as a newly chronically ill and disabled person and advocate, Mattingly walks readers through the range of complex emotions that encompasses this experience with intimate understanding and compassion, starting with dismissal, shock, and anger. Ultimately, she shows your body has never been, is not, and will never be against you. Self-love begins when you learn to trust and work in tandem with your body as it is in this very moment. Although the journey through Body Grief may not be linear, This Is Body Grief shows it's possible to feel at peace with the skin you're in.

- r***r (2961)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
- 0***i (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe first item arrived with some damage to the inside back cover, but the seller responded immediately, assuring me they’d provide a replacement, and even told me I could keep the original. They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!
