Sex After Grief

Navigating Your Sexuality After Losing Your Beloved

Sex is complicated at the best of times—but when we’re overcome by grief, it’s especially complicated and confusing. How do we nurture ourselves as sexual beings when we’re grieving the death of a partner? How do we know when it’s time to open ourselves to a new sexual connection? Sex After Grief is the first book to address sex and grief together and treat sex as a normal, life-affirming part of emerging from such a difficult time.

Joan Price, the preeminent expert on senior sex, draws on her own experiences as a widow since 2008, when she lost the love of her life to cancer. She shares her raw grief journey and sexual reawakening (and the many stumbles along the way), along with excellent advice on handling each step. 

Sex After Grief includes a variety of helpful personal stories from folks of all genders and orientations. With heart, humour, and hard-won wisdom, Joan Price helps you reclaim your sexual pleasures after great loss.
