The Grief Manual: Five Lessons from Five Years of Grief

The Grief Manual: Five Lessons from Five Years of Grief examines the impacts of grief, how those who are grieving can steer through it, and how those who are not grieving can support their friends and loved ones. It is an excellent resource that provides clear, practical guidance on handling the delicate subject of grief. It also describes a variety of emotions that bereaved people experience, including sadness, guilt, silent bereavement, loneliness, and others. The author also describes how grievers might cope with the toll that grieving has on their mental health.

One tragic fact of life is that every individual will suffer grief at some point in their lifetime. Yet, for such a universal bind, there is such a hushed approach to the subject. By examining unpopular aspects of loss, The Grief Manual sheds light on issues including the pervasive silence surrounding grieving, enduring grief, openly discussing loss, and much more.

It is a book that every individual, regardless of age, gender, or class, will find useful and instructive.
