Living With Loss and Grief
by Julia Tugendhat

Grief always hurts. But, these days, there is a growing tendency to see grief as a necessary part of life, as a journey, which leads to moving on. Grieving is nature’s way of helping us to cope with what has happened, and to deny loss is to deny its significance. Grief is itself a medicine, as William Cowper says. This has wider relevance today than ever before. With current events, grief has come out into the open and is no longer viewed as solely private. Grief and loss come in many different forms, from the searing pain when a loved one dies, to the necessary mourning for lost dreams and changed ideals at different life stages. After loss, people cannot be as they were before, but they can adapt to the changed circumstances and go on from there. This book looks at ways of grieving and the factors which help the grieving process including: ·Giving yourself permission to grieve ·Recognizing grief in its many forms ·Support from family and friends ·Rituals and other ways of active grieving ·Therapy ·Medication ·How children with loss ·The impact of suicide

On Grief and Grieving
by

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's On Death and Dying changed the way we talk about the end of life. Before her own death in 2004, she and David Kessler completed On Grief and Grieving, which looks at the way we experience the process of grief. Just as On Death and Dying taught us the five stages of death -- denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance -- On Grief and Grieving applies these stages to the grieving process and weaves together theory, inspiration, and practical advice, including sections on sadness, hauntings, dreams, isolation, and healing.

Good Grief: Healing Through the Shadow of Loss
by

A compassionate guide to the experience of loss as an essential growth process - Explores the nature of loss as a profound mystery shared by all human beings - Offers sensitive and practical advice for experiencing grief and preparing for the healing journey that follows - Includes CD of the author reading selections from the text We grieve only for that which we have loved, and the transient nature of life makes love and loss intimate companions. In Good Grief professional grief educator Deborah Morris Coryell describes grief as the experience of not having anywhere to place our love, of losing a connection, an outlet for our emotion. To heal grief we have to learn how to continue to love in the face of loss. In this compassionate guide, Coryell gives inspiring examples of how embracing our losses allows us to awaken our most profound connections to other people. Though our society tends to rank losses in a hierarchy of grief, she reminds us that all losses must be grieved in their own right and on their own terms, and that we must honor the small losses as well as the big ones. Paying attention to even the most minute experiences of loss can help us to be more in tune with our responses to the greater ones, allowing us to once again become part of the rhythm of life from which we have become disconnected. This 10th anniversary edition includes a 60-minute CD of the author reading select passages from the text.
