Sex is complicated at the best of times – but when we’re overcome by grief, it’s especially mysterious and confusing. Sex after Grief is the first book to address sex and grief together and treat sex as a normal, positive, life-affirming part of emerging from such a difficult time. Joan Price, the top expert on senior sex, draws on her own experiences as a widow since 2008, when she lost the love of her life to cancer. She shares her raw grief journey, sexual reawakening (and the many stumbles along the way), and attempts to dip back into dating, along with excellent advice on handling each step.
As Price says, there’s no right or wrong method or timeline for bringing our sexuality back into our lives, whether it’s with our own hands, a friend with benefits, a hook-up, a new companion, or any combination. Her book will help you with inspiring tales of how different people brought sex back into their lives after the loss of their spouse or partner; guidelines for dating again and getting sexual with a new person; reasons that solo sex is healthy and can be the path to feeling sexual again; advice from therapists, grief counselors, and sex coaches; self-help takeaways for creating an action plan; and more.
