Synopsis
This text offers a novel perspective on grieving for both bereaved individuals and the professionals who try to help them. The book argues that traditional theories of grief are too superficial and simplistic and develops a fresh theory of grieving as a process of "meaning reconstruction". Lessons of Loss uses actual stories of people struggling through loss. Using an approach that considers grieving as an active process of transformation, the book helps readers mobilize the personal and social resources needed for healing.
