Grief Doesn’t Do Math offers comfort and connection, while embracing a personal way to experience and endure the grieving process on one’s own terms. Grief Doesn’t Do Math envisions a wider lens for grievers beyond the renowned five stages. This book includes journal entries, poems, and reflections written over the course of seven years by author Heather H. Burwell as she experienced her own journey of grief. Grief is a nonlinear process and something we all encounter in our lives, a burden that can be eased through sharing. As noted in the epilogue, “This is my grief virgin voyage, and I share with you for a sole reason: to help other people sitting in their dinghies in torrential rainstorms, tossed upon similar waves.”

“With poignancy and audacity, Frame builds an unexpected bridge between mathematical beauty and human sorrow, illuminating both.” —Francis Su, author of Mathematics for Human Flourishing We all know the euphoria of intellectual epiphany—the thrill of sudden understanding. But coupled with that excitement is a sense of loss: a moment of epiphany can never be repeated. In Geometry of Grief,mathematician Michael Frame draws on a career’s worth of insight—including his work with a pioneer of fractal geometry Benoit Mandelbrot—as he delves into this understanding of loss. Grief, Frame reveals, can be a moment of possibility. Frame investigates grief as a response to an irrevocable change in circumstance. This reframing allows us to see parallels between the loss of a loved one and the loss of the elation of first understanding a tricky concept. From this foundation, Frame builds a geometric model of mental states. An object that is fractal, for example, has symmetry of magnification: magnify a picture of a mountain or a fern leaf—both fractal—and we see echoes of the original shape. Similarly, nested inside great loss are smaller losses. By manipulating this geometry, Frame shows us, we may be able to redirect our thinking in ways that help reduce our pain. Small-scale losses, in essence, provide laboratories to learn how to meet large-scale losses. Interweaving original illustrations, clear introductions to advanced topics in geometry, and wisdom gleaned from his own experience, Frame’s poetic book is a journey through the beautiful complexities of mathematics and life. “Intriguing.” —Nature “Poignant and beautiful. “ —Steven Strogatz, New York Time– bestselling author of Infinite Powers “A wonderful memoir.” —Choice

Over 150,000 people adopt children each year, and more than 2 million parents are now raising adopted children and grandchildren. While the path to parenting through adoption is rich with rewards and fulfillment, it's not without its bumps. This compassionate, illuminating, and ultimately uplifting book is the first to openly recognize the very normal feelings of stress that adoptive families encounter as they cope with the challenges and expectations of their new families. Where do parents turn when the waited-for bonding with their adopted child is slow to form? When they find themselves grieving over the birth child they couldn't have? When the child they so eagerly welcomed into their home arrives with major, unexpected needs? Until now, adoptive parents have had to struggle silently with their feelings, which can range from flutters of anxiety to unbearable sadness. At last, Karen J. Foli, a registered nurse, and her husband, John R. Thompson, a psychiatrist, lift the curtain of secrecy from "Post Adoption Depression Syndrome" (PADS). Drawing on their own experience as adoptive parents as well as interviews with dozens of adoptive families and experts in the field, the couple offers parents the understanding, support, and concrete solutions they need to overcome post-adoption blues-and open their hearts to the joy adoption can bring.

"[Grief and Loss Across the Lifespan] represents a significant advance because it looks at the issues from a bio-psychosocial perspective. To a social worker who has worked mainly in a medical and nursing environment, this is a great step forward." --Bereavement Care "[Offers] valued sensitivities, knowledge, and insights, and most importantly, age-appropriate interventions for a range of significant losses....Counselors will want to keep this indispensable work close at hand." -Kenneth J. Doka, PhD Author, Counseling Individuals With Life-Threatening Illness "By taking a lifespan view, this book fills a gap in the literature on loss and grief and takes theory and practice in new and invigorating directions. It will be welcomed by those professionals of all disciplines who daily listen to and help re-write narratives of loss." -Jeffrey S. Applegate, PhD Professor Emeritus Graduate School of Social Work & Social Research Bryn Mawr College "[A] thorough, thoughtful, sensitive, and up-to-date contribution that may be the best book available today for teaching bereavement, grief, and mourningÖ.[H]ighly recommended for experienced grief professionals as well as for students." -Jeffrey Kauffman, MA, MS, LCSW, BD, CT, CAS, BCETS Psychotherapist in private practice, Philadelphia, PA "Walter and McCoyd have written a well-organized and comprehensive examination of grief and bereavement that will be useful to the seasoned professional as well as the student new to grief and loss. The historical analysis of grief theory from classic to postmodern is interesting reading and essential for a full understanding of grief and loss in modern society. " --Paige E. Payne, MS, MSW, LSW Support Services Manager PinnacleHealth Home Care and Hospice Harrisburg, PA Grief and Loss Across the Lifespan is unique in its treatment of grieving patterns and intervention strategies for different age groups. With this book, students and practitioners will learn how grief is influenced by biological responses to stress, psychological responses to loss, as well as social norms and support networks. The authors utilize a developmental framework, as each level of development from infancy through old age is addressed in four ways: Reviews normal developmental issues, abilities, and challenges for the age in question Analyzes how individuals of each age cope with serious loss of a significant other, and how they may experience life-threatening illness themselves Examines how significant others react to and mourn the death of someone in that age range Identifies the normative losses a person is likely to experience, and addresses protective and risky ways of coping with those losses The authors review important grief theories, such as postmodern and Dual Process Theory, and discuss current topics in grief, including continuing bonds, meaning making, ambiguous loss, and disenfranchised loss. With the help of this book, practitioners and students of grief counseling can learn to help patients of all ages understand that loss is at the heart of life and growth.

THE BOOK GRIEF DOESN’T WANT YOU TO READ –––––––––––––––––––––– So, they’re gone. And now, everything is fucked. Your entire fucking world just got obliterated. One second, they were here—your person, your anchor, your goddamn reason for breathing—and now, they’re just fucking gone. Reduced to memories, ashes, a gaping, screaming HOLE in the fabric of your goddamn existence. The world SHATTERS, doesn't it? One minute they’re breathing, laughing, living, and the next… NOTHING. Just a void that swallows everything whole, leaving you choking on the dust of what used to be. Everything you knew is a smoldering crater, a wasteland of what-ifs and never-agains. And the infuriating, soul-crushing reality? The goddamn sun STILL rises. Traffic STILL crawls. People STILL bitch about their lattes. The fucking AUDACITY of the world to keep turning when yours has stopped DEAD. Meanwhile, you’re drowning in this soul-crushing, brain-melting, rage-inducing hellscape called grief. People start talking, and 95% of what they say is the most tone-deaf, ignorant, rage-inducing, and straight-up offensive bullshit you'll ever hear in your life. “Oh, they’re in a better place.” Better place my ass. Their place was right the fuck here, with you. “Everything happens for a reason.” Say that again, and you might catch hands. –––––––––––––––––––––– Grief isn’t just sadness. It’s a goddamn onslaught. It’s a neurochemical shitstorm that hijacks your brain, making you forget your own address and put the remote in the fridge. It’s a physical assault that leaves you exhausted, nauseous, shaky—like you got hit by a truck and then dragged for miles. You expect the big days to hurt—birthdays, anniversaries, holidays. But it’s the tiny, everyday gut-punches that fuck you up the most. Looking at their side of the bed and feeling like the air just got knocked out of your lungs. Seeing their favorite coffee mug. Hearing their laugh in a goddamn dream. Yeah, those. And then there’s the pressure—to “move on,” to “find meaning,” to be some kind of goddamn poster child of grief instead of the broken, furious, drowning mess you actually are. Guess what? You don’t have to play by their rules. This is not a soft, hand-holding guide to healing. This is not a collection of gentle affirmations. This is not a “breathe deeply and let go” pile of spiritual bypassing. THIS IS A GODDAMN WAR MANUAL FOR THE SOUL UNDER SIEGE. A brass-knuckled, battle-scarred, no-holds-barred roadmap through the hellscape of grief. This book is going to rip grief open, lay it the fuck out, and force it to look you in the eye. It will not tell you to “move on.” It will not pat you on the head and tell you “it gets better.” It will tell you the brutal, ugly, completely unfair truth about what it means to keep breathing when the one person who made life worth living isn’t here anymore. –––––––––––––––––––––– WHAT’S INSIDE THIS LITERARY GRENADE? 🔥 THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE FUCKING TRUTH No sugarcoating. No silver linings. Just the unfiltered, gut-wrenching reality of loss—the moments when you actually get mad at your person for dying. The way grief makes you feel like a fucking burden. The guilt when you catch yourself laughing for the first time in weeks. The deep, bone-shaking loneliness that makes you feel like you’re screaming into a void. 🧠 A BATTLE PLAN FOR YOUR BRAIN Grief isn’t just an emotion. It’s a complete biological hijacking. Your brain is in full-scale fucking mutiny. It's chemically rewiring itself to handle trauma, which is why you can’t concentrate, why you forget what day it is, why food tastes like cardboard, why you feel like you’re losing your goddamn mind. Welcome to grief brain. It’s real. It’s brutal. And it’s a fucking menace. 🚫 A FIELD GUIDE TO IDIOTS & THEIR BULLSHIT People will say some of the stupidest shit you’ve ever heard in your life. From the toxic positivity crowd (“Just be grateful for the time you had!”) to the spiritual bypassers (“It was their time” / “The universe has a plan”), we’re calling out every category of grief-related dumbassery and giving you the arsenal you need to shut them the fuck up. ⚡ A RAGE ROOM IN BOOK FORM If you’re pissed off at the world, you’re not crazy. You’re grieving. And grief isn’t just crying into a pillow—it’s an all-out war against reality. You’re mad at fate, at the universe, at people who still have what you lost. And yes, you’re probably mad at your person, too. That’s normal. That’s grief. 💪 PERMISSION TO BE A BADASS Forget “moving on gracefully.” Here, you get the green light to flip off the world, throw things, scream into the void, and grieve however the hell you need to, whenever you need to, for as long as you need to. There is no deadline on your grief, and anyone who tells you otherwise can go to hell. ⚔️ NAVIGATING THE GRIEF MINEFIELD From surviving the first everything without them (first holiday, first birthday, first Tuesday that just feels fucking impossible) to shutting down clueless assholes who think they’re helping, this book arms you with the tools you need to exist in a world that suddenly doesn’t make a goddamn lick of sense. ❤️ A WHOLE LOT OF “I SEE YOU” Because in your darkest moments, you don’t need a grief expert. You need someone who knows what it’s like to watch their fucking world burn and remember all over again that they’re never coming back. Someone who’s still standing somehow. Someone who won’t tell you how to feel but will stand in the wreckage with you, middle fingers up, ready to take on grief like the soul-stealing motherfucker it is. –––––––––––––––––––––– WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NEED THIS BOOK? If you've ever wanted to punch someone who said, "They're in a better place," THIS IS YOUR BIBLE. If you're drowning in platitudes and useless advice from people who haven't experienced the soul-crushing pain of loss, THIS IS YOUR LIFE RAFT. If you've fantasized about telling the universe to go fuck itself, THIS IS YOUR ANTHEM. If you're teetering on the edge of sanity and desperately searching for something, anything, to help you feel less alone, THIS IS YOUR COMPANION. If you're ready to rage, fight, claw your way back to the land of the living, one brutal, messy step at a time, THIS IS YOUR GODDAMN WEAPON. THIS ISN'T JUST A BOOK; IT'S A GODDAMN CALL TO ARMS. Here’s what they don’t tell you: you’re never going to be the same. Grief doesn’t go away. You don’t get over it. You learn to live with the absence. You learn to breathe again, step by step. You learn how to carry them forward with you—not in some cheesy “they’re watching over you” kind of way, but in the real, raw, everyday moments where their absence is a weight you learn to bear. –––––––––––––––––––––– SO, WHAT THE FUCK NOW? Now, we get to fucking work. Grief is a feral beast, and it will hunt you down. You can’t run from this pain. You can’t bury it, drink it away, fuck it away, work it away. The longer you fight it, the harder it fucking hits. The only way out is through. And this book? It’s coming with you. This isn’t some soft, hand-holding, “it gets better” bullshit. This is about dragging yourself through the fire, one brutal, ugly, soul-crushing step at a time, until you realize grief didn’t kill you, even though it sure as fuck tried. It’s about facing the cruelest reminders of their absence, from the mundane to the catastrophic, and learning how to survive these heart-punch moments without letting them pull you into an abyss. It’s about giving yourself credit for just existing—because sometimes, that’s the hardest fucking thing you’ll ever do. One day, you’ll wake up, and the first thing you feel won’t be pain. One day, you’ll laugh without feeling guilty about it. One day, you’ll realize that you are still fucking here. And that means you are not fucking done yet. There is a shitload of work ahead of you. We’re gonna torch some lies. Make a fucking mess. Get way too loud, then turn that mess into something raw, beautiful, and all yours. So, grab your weapon, steel your nerves, and prepare to fight for your goddamn life. Let’s begin.

“One of the best critiques of current K-12 mathematics education I have ever seen, written by a first-class research mathematician who elected to devote his teaching career to K-12 education.” —Keith Devlin, NPR’s “Math Guy” A brilliant research mathematician reveals math to be a creative art form on par with painting, poetry, and sculpture, and rejects the standard anxiety-producing teaching methods used in most schools today. Witty and accessible, Paul Lockhart’s controversial approach will provoke spirited debate among educators and parents alike, altering the way we think about math forever. Paul Lockhart is the author of Arithmetic, Measurement, and A Mathematician’s Lament. He has taught mathematics at Brown University, University of California, Santa Cruz, and to K-12 level students at St. Ann’s School in Brooklyn, New York.
