Sale price $25.00 Regular price $35.00

Lessons of Loss: A Guide to Coping offers a novel perspective on grieving for both bereaved individuals and the professionals who support them. In this readable book, author Robert A. Neimeyer, PhD:
• argues that traditional theories of grief are too superficial and simplistic.
• develops a fresh theory of grieving as a meaning-making process.
• uses real stories of real people struggling through loss.
• considers grieving as an active process of transformation.
• helps the reader mobilize the personal and social resources needed for healing.
• suggests ritualizing and memorializing the people and things we miss.
• outlines practical tools and strategies for dealing with grief and rebuilding our bond with the deceased.
• discusses the impacts of different types of losses, from death to relationships to jobs.
This book is emotionally compassionate, theoretically sophisticated, and practically focused. It has been used by thousands of grieving people to help them find hopeful orientation in their loss, and by countless helping professionals working in hospices, hospitals and private practices to offer bereavement support.
