Grief is part of life. If we live life joyfully, if we love deeply . . . we open our hearts to the pain of loss. It’s said you can’t have joy without sorrow. They are inextricably intertwined.
In Surviving Grief, Victoria Mitchell takes us on a journey through this truth. She focuses on what we grieve, how we grieve, and, ultimately, what healing looks like. Victoria threads her own grief stories throughout as she illustrates the value of writing your own story and the importance of sharing it with others.
Whether death of a loved one, loss of relationship, or sorrow surrounding other life changes, she addresses each with vulnerability and authenticity. In later chapters, Victoria offers valuable suggestions in helping others through loss, and looks at how we face our own mortality.
As she did for hundreds of clients throughout her counseling career, Victoria will help you assemble a tool box of coping skills and self-care practices, allowing you to endure and learn from the most difficult times of your life.
Over eight years as a psychiatric nurse and thirty-plus years as a psychotherapist, VICTORIA L. MITCHELL, RN, LCSW has helped hundreds of patients deal with serious issues of depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. In this volume, as in her first book, Happiness Calling, she shares what she’s learned in her decades with clients, and in her own journey from fear to freedom.

LIVING WITH THE BAND by Victoria Ashton
Morbid obesity currently affects more than six million Americans. It’s associated with a number of life-threatening conditions, such as Type-2 diabetes, cancer, and hypertension.
Sometimes, when other weight loss methods have failed, surgery is the best option for taking control of your weight — and your life. The LAP-BAND System is a minimally invasive, adjustable and reversible FDA-approved obesity treatment. Properly used, it can reduce your risk of developing severe medical conditions, and enhance the quality of your life.
Victoria Ashton knows. This is the story of her experience with surgery, and beyond. Her message is: Don’t be afraid to ask your doctor if Lap-Band surgery could be right for you. Most importantly, if you are not comfortable in any medical situation, change it. It is very important to have the right medical team. Victoria has lost seventy-two pounds, and more importantly, maintained that loss for over four years. Her life has changed dramatically. Beautifully written, with a wry humor that isn’t above poking fun at herself, her story is an inspiration to readers, as well as a detailed guide to what you can and cannot expect. Available in bookstores and online. ISBN 978-1-482529-57-9
