About this title

Synopsis

MANAGE YOUR GRIEF, RATHER THAN LET IT MANAGE YOU!

Your Healing Journey Through Grief by Stanley Cornils will enable you to translate knowledge into action. Grief is not a disease that needs to be cured, but an experience that can be worked through by following a normal, natural mourning process, which if properly dealt with and completed, can result in a resourceful and constructive outcome so that a person can recover from loss and life goes on. The loss of a spouse or other special loved one is the most difficult and challenging experience of a person’s life and unresolved grief can last a lifetime. This book is a tool that can be used to learn how to survive loss. Stanley Cornils believes a person can do more than just survive a loss, he believes they can go on to lead a fulfilling life.

After many years of performing funeral services and observing the suffering of grieving families, he asked himself, "Isn’t there something more I can do for these people?" As a result, he developed his "Grief Recovery Seminars" and has presented them for the past twenty years in the Northern San Francisco Bay Area. Your Healing Journey Through Grief represents the culmination of his experiences in helping people who are struggling with the trauma of losing a loved one by death or divorce. This book can be used as a guide for individuals or grief support groups and leaders.
