Description

"For the Bereaved focuses on the practical issues and the emotional upheaval involved in bereavement. Here, the reader will find useful information about what to expect and what to do during the days, weeks, and months following loss. The book is meant to aid the bereaved and those who share their loss in dealing with changes in life that occur after the death of a loved one. The main feature of the book is the remarkably sound advice offered by highly experienced, distinguished authorities who deal with these problems regularly ... Their words of wisdom and experience will be deeply appreciated by those going through the process of bereavement. Not only are their messages likely to be a source of support and comfort, but above all, they permit the bereaved to consider the causes and effects of their grief as a necessary step in recovery."--Back cover.… (more)
