In this practical book on why and how people grieve, the author addresses the experience of bereavement and loss in a wide range of contexts, including: death and dying; ageing; disability; illness and AIDS; and cultural loss.
The second part of the book presents ideas for practical solutions and discusses strategies to facilitate change and re-empower clients, helping them regain control of their lives.
