The Loss Prescription

A compassionate, psychologically grounded guide to grief, loss, and healing Published by HarperCollins · Dr Chloe Paidoussis-Mitchell

​

If you are reading this, you are probably carrying something heavy.

​

Maybe you have lost someone you love. Maybe the loss is harder to name than that - a relationship, a future you had planned, a version of yourself that quietly disappeared. Maybe you have been told, in so many words, that you should be over it by now.

​

You are not over it. And there is nothing wrong with you.

The Loss Prescription was written for you.

​

About the book:

Drawing on 25 years of clinical practice, counselling psychology, existential insight, and the neuroscience of grief, The Loss Prescription offers something the wellbeing industry rarely provides: honest, humane, psychologically rigorous guidance for meeting loss without pressure, judgement, or artificial timelines.

This is not a book about the five stages of grief. It does not offer a checklist for recovery or a promise that things will be fine if you follow the right steps.

​

It offers something more valuable: a framework for understanding what is happening inside you when you grieve - psychologically, emotionally, and in the body - and how healing unfolds when experience is allowed to be met rather than managed.

​

The Loss Prescription recognises grief not as a problem to be solved, but as an expression of love, meaning, and attachment. And it invites you into a different relationship with your own pain - one rooted in presence, compassion, and emotional truth.

Widely read by individuals navigating personal loss as well as professionals working in health, mental health, education, and caring roles.

What readers say:​

Ms Garnett - Amazon Review: "Dr Chloe has carefully crafted a “go to” manual which is, quite simply put a game changer. Beautifully written and one that is not only applicable to all life challenges but inspiring and uplifting. Thank you Dr Chloe for a real prescription that is a trusty manual."

​

Cal Stars - Amazon Review : Extremely helpful and insightful book "I picked this book up while dealing with inordinate amounts of stress that severely impacted my mental and physical well-being and permeated my everyday life. I searched for pathways and tools to address my issues. This book provided a much needed reality check for me and helped lay a medical and holistic approach to improve my well-being. I highly recommend it as it is easy to digest and provides tangible exercises and steps to aid one's acknowledgement of their situation, acceptance of the new station in life created by loss, and journey to a more peaceful, and healthy mental and physical state."

 

Amazon Review: "Beautiful book. Such a beautifully written book. Such help while going through the process of grief."

​

Dr Chloe combines compassion with clear steps that really help you find a way forward without feeling pressured. It feels supportive and reassuring, and offers comfort while also giving you tools you can use in everyday life. A book I’ll be recommending to anyone facing loss."
