A grief book that offers 101 pieces of practical advice on grief and healing.
There is no way to prepare for the loss of someone close. However, you do have a choice in coping with the death of a loved one and -- most importantly -- finding the strength to grow through the pain of your loss.
In his book on grief and the loss of a spouse or another loved one, grief counseling expert Dr. Louis LaGrand offers 101 pieces of practical, accessible advice to help mourners in understanding your grief and healing after loss, including:
- Starting each day with an affirmative action
- Establishing a grief or worry time
- Planning in advance for birthdays, anniversaries, and important holidays
- Learning to enjoy new routines
- Letting go of "if onlys" and "what ifs"
- Never ruling out happiness
This comforting, yet straightforward book is designed to gently lead you on a new pathway of lasting inner peace by using the one thing you can control: your own response to grief.
