Summary: Abigail Carter is smart, funny, perceptive, and bereft. In the eyes of most, herself included, she had it all: a full life with a loving, successful husband and two beautiful children. But on September 11 2001, in a horrifying instant watched by the world, it was gone, and her life and her children's were changed irreparably. How does one learn to live again after tragedy? The Alchemy of Loss is Abby's moving story of answering that unimaginable question. Veering away from the trite and pat grief books, which offer one-size-fits-all solutions to this most deeply personal and unique experience, she realises that each person must forge their own path through grief, and that there are no right answers.
