"Grief is a universal experience; it is also an intensely personal one. Until we suffer the death of a loved one, it is difficult to imagine the impact that the accompanying grief will have on our lives. Beyond Grief is a sensitive guide for anyone who has lost someone close to them. It combines personal accounts from survivors, interviews with lay people and professionals who work closely with the bereaved, and important research from the field. The book is divided into three sections, organized to be accessible for all readers. Section I addresses the universal aspects of grief and offers coping strategies for dealing with the wide array of emotions encountered. Section II explores specific types of loss and suggests ways for survivors to meet the unique challenges. Section III explains how survivors can get help during their grieving period and provides guidance and useful information for friends, relatives, and counselors interested in helping.--From publisher description" (tomado de la fuente).
