Tenafly, NJ — November 1, 2025 — When grief takes hold, words often fail. But in her newest book, After the Loss: Finding Your Way Through Grief, clinical psychologist and author Dr. Patricia A. Farrell provides what so many seek in the quiet aftermath of loss—a steady, understanding voice that says, "You're not broken, and you're not alone."

Released today through Amazon Select and Draft2Digital for library distribution, After the Loss is the second title in Dr. Farrell's acclaimed Pocket Guide Series—a collection of concise, compassionate books designed to help readers navigate life's hardest emotional terrain. Each guide is small enough to carry, yet powerful enough to comfort, reassure, and restore a sense of calm when life feels unbearable.

"Grief isn't something to fix," says Dr. Farrell. "It's something to walk through—slowly, tenderly, and in your own way. This book was written to sit beside you during that walk."

Unlike conventional grief manuals that impose tidy stages or timelines, After the Loss embraces the messy, unpredictable truth of mourning. It validates the exhaustion, confusion, and raw emotion that accompany any form of loss—whether the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a change in health, or even the quiet heartbreak of lost dreams. Through short, conversational chapters, Dr. Farrell helps readers reclaim small moments of peace while honoring what was lost.

Each page of After the Loss offers practical comfort and emotional grounding—gentle exercises, reflections, and permission to simply survive the day. Readers will find solace in knowing there's no "right" way to grieve, only their way.

Dr. Farrell brings more than clinical expertise to the subject. As a psychologist with decades of professional experience—and someone who has faced profound personal losses—she writes with authenticity and compassion. Her goal is not to prescribe, but to accompany.

After the Loss: Finding Your Way Through Grief is now available in digital format through Amazon KDP Select and Draft2Digital, making it accessible to libraries nationwide.

For anyone walking through grief, this book is a gentle reminder: love endures, healing is possible, and hope is not betrayal—it's survival.
