A Death in the Family

This revised and updated edition gives practical advice for the recently bereaved, emotional and spiritual help for those in mourning and information for others on how best to help the bereaved. This book has the same series look as "Coping with Depression" and "Getting Married in Church". The book provides short, easy-to-read chapters which handle topics such as how to prepare for bereavement, what to do in the first few days after someone has died, understanding death, how to cope with grief, emotional problems, how to make ends meet and manage practical problems. Specialized chapters deal with the bereaved child, the one-parent family and the different problems linked to different types of bereavement. A final chapter explains how others can help, and is suitable for counsellors as well as the bereaved.
