This book provides a guide for grieving youth and adults as well as extensive descriptive lists of recommended professional literature resources.
Grief caused by loss is both a very common human experience and a highly individualized one. For example, children experience a number of losses that are unique to their young age-such as sibling and parent death, adoption, or divorce-and should be given special consideration by professionals and parents helping them in these situations. For gay, lesbian, or cohabiting heterosexual couples that suffer the loss of a partner, societal standards often deny the survivors in these relationships the right to grieve.
Helping Those Experiencing Loss: A Guide to Grieving Resources is a book like no other, supplying compassionate information for navigating the emotional distress that every man and woman will experience in their lifetime, as well as a comprehensive guide to the literature of bereavement and grieving. It explains the grieving process, interpreting the results of research on the topic in plain language and addressing specific groups: children, young adults, parents who have lost a child, adults who have lost spouses, and the aging population.
