A Decembered Grief
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I thought this book was very useful. It gave suggestions on how to deal with all types of grief in a realistic manner. It was written in a compassionate and easy to understand way, also. I've been using it with the clients I work with in our outpatient mental health program, and they respond poitively to the book, also.
A Decembered Grief: Living with Loss while Others are Celebrating

This book is one of the best on the market for grieving. It covers how to handle the process, gives tips on how to handle Holiday celebrations, birthdays, when people say stupid things. It is written in 3-4 page chapters---easy to read and very effective. I have given this for about 5 years to people ---especially in the case of a sudden death, and or the death of a young person. Think it is one of the best available.
A step in a healing direction

When I first picked up this book, I thought, "Is it going to be good?," and I was pleasantly surprised. It helped me reach a horizon of encouragement to continue on after I lost a loved one. It sought to gently answer the questions and anger many people have in a state of mourning. I highly reccommend this book to anyone who is looking for comfort on a page.

This book can heal the wounded soul. It is an eloquent reminder that when we suffer we do not suffer alone.If you're interested in this kind of book, I'd highly recommend Christmas Gifts, Christmas Voices, by John Allen.
Excellent Gift for Holiday Grief
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The format of this book is "just right" for grievers. Short sections allow the reader to read as little or as much as they can handle at one sitting. This is an excellent gift for the seasons of Fall and Winter when society inundates us with holiday celebrations and togetherness. Since September 11, 2001, this book ought to become a best-seller. I've given out at least a dozen copies to family and friends.
