When your mother suffers a stroke that gets missed by the very doctors who were supposed to help her? When your husband has been confined to bed for six years by a medical system that looked the other way? When the person holding it all together - the nurse, the caregiver, the strong one - finally breaks?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was written from inside that grief.

For the caregivers who are quietly falling apart while the world asks about everyone except them. For the people who have been dismissed, delayed, and failed by the systems that were supposed to protect the ones they love. For the neurodivergent grievers whose brains loop and fixate and feel everything so deeply that moving on was never a realistic option. For the strong ones who have spent so long holding everyone else together that they have forgotten - or perhaps never learned - how to fall apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by Sara Jacques, a Registered Practical Nurse, a mother of four, a daughter, a wife, a granddaughter, and a caregiver who is still in the middle of the hardest years of her life, this book does not offer five stages or a finish line. It does not promise that grief gets easier or that time heals all wounds or that everything happens for a reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat it offers is something rarer than any of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe truth.

Each chapter is drawn from real lived experience, woven together with practical reflection prompts for the chapters where readers need space to process what they are carrying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is for the person who has never seen themselves in a grief book before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the caregiver who is grieving someone who is still alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the person whose losses keep arriving before the previous ones have been processed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the one who reaches for the phone to call someone who is no longer there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the one who is still standing - not because they are okay, but because they simply haven't stopped yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStill standing doesn't mean okay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt just means you haven't stopped yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd today, that is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47968607469719,"sku":"9798199562096","price":1428.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798199562096.webp?v=1782918751","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/still-standing-when-grief-isnt-just-one-thing-9798199562096","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
