Melody Beattie, one of America's most beloved self-help authors and a household name in addiction and recovery circles, will be back at WEBE Radio sharing her experience and discussing her book; The Grief Club. After her son died, she found herself welcomed into new club, a circle of people who had lived through the tragic loss of a child. This was not the first club in which she unwittingly found herself. Years earlier, she found herself in Twelve Step groups, first balking, then later embracing the healing principles that she now credits with saving her life. But life, Ms. Beattie writes, is all about change. Not only do loved ones die, but once successful careers can careen out of control and debilitating diseases can rob you of future plans. Melody writes; there's a secret to get through loss, pain and grief. If we're alone we can't see who we are. When we join the club, other people become the mirror. Through them, we see ourselves and gain an understanding of what we're going through. Then slowly, real slowly, we learn to accept who we see in the mirror. You can follow The Grief Club and Melody on Facebook.
