The Courage to Grieve

Although this book emphasizes the response to bereavement, it aims to help with all kinds of loss and grief, exploring intense and uncomfortable emotions such as sorrow, guilt, loneliness, resentment, confusion, and the temporary loss of the will to live. There is advice on how to help oneself and others to get through the immediate experience of death and the grief that follows, as well as how to understand the special grief of children. The author is a Gestalt therapist in the USA.
