Buy "A Time To Grieve" at amazon
By Carol Staudacher
This one was given to me by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board councellor who came to see us right after Micheal died.
Very helpful because each page begins with a quote from someone who has survived the death of a loved one, related to the many emotions we go through, and questions we ask, during our grief, including pain, guilt, anger, shame, fear... It then has a very comforting comment from the author on that specific emotion, question or "stage of grief" and then a comforting meditation follows.
Broken down into three sections:
Retreating, Working Through and Resolving, each quote is a very brief chapter unto itself, so even early in this journey when it is impossible to concentrate to read, this book is "do-able". In the beginning I felt like almost every "chapter" was written for me. It will make you cry... but it will comfort you to know that you are not the first person to have these feelings and questions.
I
really recommend this book for the newly bereaved, but anyone who has lost someone they love will find comfort in it's pages.
Love and hugs,
Johanna, Micheal's mom
