Sex After Grief: NavigatingYour Sexuality After Losing Your Beloved⁠ 

Sex is complicated enough when it’s easy—but when we’re in grief, it’s especially mysterious and confusing. How do we nurture ourselves as sexual beings when we’re grieving the death of a partner? Why does taking care of ourselves sexually even matter at a time when we’d rather hide under the covers and wail? What do we do with those sexual feelings that arise despite our misery? How do we know when it’s time to open ourselves to a new sexual relationship, whether it’s a friend with benefits or a new love connection? And how do we do it?

Joan Price’s award-winning Sex After Grief: Navigating Your Sexuality After Losing Your Beloved is the first book to address sex and grief together and treat sex as a normal, positive, life-affirming part of emerging from grief.
