Good Grief: Gift Edition: Vol 8

This lovely hardcover edition of the timeless classic makes a heartfelt gift for anyone who is grieving.

For more than fifty years Good Grief has helped millions of readers, including NFL players and a former first lady, find comfort and rediscover hope after loss. This classic text includes a foreword by Dr. Timothy Johnson, a leading communicator of medical health care information, and an afterword by the author's daughters that tells how the book came to be.

Good Grief identifies ten stages of grief--shock, emotion, depression, physical distress, panic, guilt, anger, resistance, hope, and acceptance--but, recognizing that grief is complex and deeply personal, defines no "right" way to grieve.

Good Grief offers valuable insights on the emotional and physical responses we all may experience during the natural process of grieving. Reflection questions in each section help us explore our own experience with each stage.

Whether one is mourning the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage, the loss of a job, or other difficult life changes, Good Grief is a proven steady companion. Now in a giftable hardcover edition that makes a sincere gift for anyone experiencing loss.

Granger E. Westberg was a widely respected pioneer in holistic healthcare and the interrelationship of religion and medicine, and founder of the parish nurse program.
