"Invisible Loss" by Christina Rasmussen is designed as a resource for self-reflection and healing. Rasmussen focuses on the invisible losses people carry that keep them from moving on, and elaborates on how they remain in a metaphorical "waiting room." I would recommend this for anyone interested in exploring the Life Reentry® Model, created by Rasmussen to help guide people to find a way out. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Invisible Loss by Christina Rasmussen is a book that you need to be mentally and emotionally ready for. It is not a sit-down and read-and-be-done book. The reader really needs to take the time and be prepared to dive deep to unpack emotions that may have been long buried.

While some of the stuff discussed seemed a bit complicated to understand, there are examples to help the reader along.

In Invisible Loss, the author highlights unrecognized forms of grief. She states that because we avoid invisible loss, we don’t process it; instead, we seek the protection of an endless “waiting room” in the hope that time will heal our wounds. The author discusses the origin of invisible loss and how we have coped along the way, the five life reentry phases based on the Life Reentry® Model she developed, and exercises to help the reader find a way out of the waiting room.

This is a good book to have for anyone dealing with loss of any kind.

I liked this one, but I have not dealt with the kind of loss she has and I can't imagine how hard that must have been. I lost my father a few years ago and the grief from that has been hard. But I did find sky helpful tidbits within this book.
I do like how she breaks everything down into usable steps. It was very encouraging. I like that it's really go at your own pace and you can read a little bit at a time here and there.
I think this will help people who are dealing with a major loss.
