The Thing Called Grief:
|
Judy Stanton: Since I lost my mom in December,
I've been looking for good books to help me work through the grieving process.
This little book is one I would reccomend, you can read and re-read it, and get
some measure of comfort. Ellis manages to balance the science of grieving including
lists of what to expect, with anecdotal stories and soothing poems and writings.
I think everyone's loss is so different as is each individual's way of handling it,
that it's hard to have what you write apply to everyone. I also read "The Orphaned
Adult" by Marc Angel, about confronting the death of a parent, but found myself
skipping over things that did not apply. I would really appreciate hearing from
anyone who has a suggestion for a book that was helpful.
