Coping with Bereavement

Reviews / Votes

'This timely book integrates a wide range of contemporary approaches, the professional & personal experience of the author and attention to important but often neglected situations (e.g. bereavement in the refugee experience), distilling them into clear and practical suggestions for the grieving. A refreshingly knowledgeable and wide-ranging resource for the bereaved.'

Dr Ray Owen, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, author of Facing the Storm & co-host of podcast Two Old Psychologists Talking About Stuff

'This book engages with a wide range of contexts for bereavement, and acknowledges the importance of personal circumstances, including intersection with other trauma and with culture. Each chapter includes a range of practical ideas for growing through grief, but always recognises that none of these is a simple solution: grief is messy, and each one of us experiences it uniquely.'

Sands Bereavement Support Service

'Incorporating current thinking and approaches to grief and how to work through a significant loss experience, Coping with Bereavement is a wonderfully sensitive and thoughtful resource. Through the examples, practical suggestions, and realistic descriptions of grief that can occur from many types of loss experiences, readers will find this to be an incredibly useful guide that will help them navigate their grief in compassionate and helpful ways.'
