Bereavement is an experience that touches everyone, but no two people experience it in the same way. This honest and reassuring book offers practical, emotional and spiritual help for anyone undergoing the mixed emotions and confusion that bereavement can bring, and points the way to healing.
The book covers topics such as: Funerals and Ceremonies - Absence and Presence - Anger and Guilt - Regret and Relief - Loss and Despair - Energy and Sleep - Support and Comfort - Anniversaries and Remembrances
Personal stories, anecdotes and quotations are included, along with evocative colour images that create a sense of peace and allow space for reflection.
