| Summary: | "This book offers a simple introduction to loss and the grief process, and practical suggestions for how to deal with one's own grief or that of others, be it a loved one, a neighbor, or a friend. An internationally renowned expert on grief counseling, D'Arcy draws on her own painful experience of the loss of her husband and daughter. She distills the wisdom that she gained through the process of grieving and shares insights that inspired her to heal and grow in the face of tremendously difficult life lessons. When People Grieve is full of practical suggestions with sections on specific ways to help, thoughtful visiting, and things not to say. Chapters on the patterns of grief illuminate the work of mourning and teach patience with the process. D'Arcy also explores the many ways in which grief can manifest such as anger, withdrawal, need to control, and guilt. This book is a compassionate road map for friends and family of the bereaved and shares a deep understanding of what people need as they move through loss."--From publisher's website. |
