Description

Updated to commemorate its 20th anniversary, this classic resource further explores the effects of grief and sheds new light on how to begin to take effective actions to complete the grieving process and work towards recovery and happiness.

Incomplete recovery from grief can have a lifelong negative effect on the capacity for happiness. Drawing from their own histories as well as from others', the authors illustrate how it is possible to recover from grief and regain energy and spontaneity.

Based on a proven program, The Grief Recovery Handbook offers grievers the specific actions needed to move beyond loss. New material in this edition includes guidance for dealing with:

· Loss of faith

· Loss of career and financial issues

· Loss of health

· Growing up in an alcoholic or dysfunctional home

The Grief Recovery Handbook is a groundbreaking, classic handbook that everyone should have in their library.

"This book is required for all my classes. The more I use this book, the more I believe that unresolved grief is the major underlying issue in most people's lives. It is the only work of its kind that I know of that outlines the problem and provides the solution."—Bernard McGrane, Ph.D., Professor of Sociology, Chapman University

        Verdict: A practical guide to coping with the grief of death or divorce, complemented by excellent exercises for finding peace and regaining energy. Highly recommended for public library and other self-help collections. Background: In this updated classic, James and Friedman (founders, Grief Recovery Institute; coauthors, When Children Grieve) argue that mourning is an emotional rather than an intellectual experience. Instead of working toward closure, the grieving are encouraged to examine their relationships with their lost loved ones and address any unresolved issues. The authors present effective tools for dealing with painful emotions (e.g., relationship graph, completion letter) and conclude with a discussion of other types of loss (e.g., career change, infertility and health issues, loss of faith).-Antoinette Brinkman, M.L.S., Evansville, IN
