Finding Closure: Who can move forward without it: 1

Product Information

Readers will wonder what happens to Jonas once he finishes his journey and what happens to the town and people he left behind. There are three more companion books with more plot points, but the story centering on Jonas is finished. Readers will see him again, but only as a side character, and will neither find out how he rebuilt his life nor how his old community fared. There might be speculation, but an answer is never clearly given: that is left to the imagination. Tewksbury, R. (2006). Sex offender registries as a tool for public safety: Views from registered offenders. Western Criminology Review, 7(1), 1-8.

Funerals and memorial services can help bring closure following a loved one's death for some people, but not all. Giving or hearing a eulogy memorializing your loved one's life can immensely heal and help with the grieving process. You can find closure in many ways. For some, getting professional counseling or therapy will help. For others, immersing themselves in a new hobby or activity will allow them an opportunity to move forward from their loss.

All I was able to do was turn to Liesel Meminger and tell her the only truth I truly know. I said to the book thief and I say it now to you. Reason for Reading: I have Asperger's and when I saw a book that featured a female protagonist with Asperger's I was elated and HAD to read the book.

Finding truth doesn’t equate to the end of your pain and suffering. And, reasons don’t always mean that it makes a positive difference in your grief journey. After experiencing the death of someone we love, we hope to gain closure following their death. We look at different things, such as honoring their lives and finding meaning in their death. But we may not know entirely what it means to get closure from their death or if it’s even possible ever to get there. Jump ahead to these sections:Sometimes it may be necessary to seek outside support to help you process your loved one’s death and find closure. The importance of finding closure following a traumatic event lies in why people want answers and explanations as to why their loved one died. I don’t get it. That is most likely how you will feel as you read this book. But once you get to the end, you will Get It, just like the main character, Caitlin. In this realistic fiction book, the author does a good job of putting me in the place of a person with Asperger’s while telling a story with lots of emotion. It is not my favorite book, but it certainly teaches some good lessons. Allow yourself time to heal. This is probably one of the more difficult steps in the process; no one enjoys experiencing negative emotions. Don’t worry about feeling blue. Why wouldn’t you feel that way after a loss? Allow yourself the courage to confront the pain. Allow yourself moments to cry and wallow in those somber love songs (I have been there and can give many thanks to the singer/songwriter Adele). Hiding from these emotions — or even worse, numbing yourself via drugs or alcohol — may make you feel better in the short term, but the pain will still be present. It’s better to sort through the hurt now so it doesn’t creep up on you when you’re already in the midst of a new chapter.
