Publisher’s Summary
Drawing on psychoanalysis, literature, and personal experience, Necessary Losses is a philosophy for understanding and accepting life’s inevitabilities. In this book Judith Viorst turns her considerable talents to a serious and far-reaching subject: how we grow and change through the losses that are certain and necessary parts of life. She argues persuasively that through the loss of our mothers’ protection, the loss of the impossible expectations we bring to relationships, the loss of our younger selves, and the loss of our loved ones through separation and death, we gain deeper perspective, true maturity, and fuller wisdom about life. She has written a book that is both life affirming and life changing.

A must read!
Therapists will find this useful in understanding human development through a psychodynamic approaches. Non professionals will enjoy learning about the stages of life that we all go through and how to successfully proceed to the next, while embracing change.

Transformational
I read this several years ago, and knew it was worth reading again. having the audio book allowed me to listen again at my leisure, allowing Judith Viorst's wisdom to refresh my insights once again.

Transformative, insightful and healing
I got answers to many of my conscious and unconscious questions that I have held over the years through the beautiful story of our losses in this book. Specifically, parts of my shadow that have hurt me all my life are finally embraced and addressed. Can’t recommend this book enough!

Loved 2nd half of the book don’t give up if you are disappointed at the beginning.
I don’t know if I’m a fan of Sigmund Freud. There’s a lot references. The book is not what I expected at all.

Eye opener

The human experience. I think everyone would gain a great deal from this book.
Well written, The person narrating did a brilliant job. This book is not just for someone dealing with loss or grief. It takes you through a life’s journey of the beauty and what is let go to grow. I’ll be recommending this to many friends/family members.
