More Good Words: Practical Activities for Mourning
Ph D Beth L Hewett
Publisher Marketing:"Beth Hewett has written an essential book on dealing with the loss of loved ones." --Franklin W. Ellis, LCSW-C "More Good Words is a book for everyone who has grieved or who will grieve." --Tracey Eberhardt, RN, MS, Faith Community Nurse, Bereavement Facilitator When grief hits, we hurt. What can we do about the pain of grief? Dr. Hewett explains that grief and mourning are not the same thing--grief is passive (it happens to us) and mourning is active (we do something with the grief). More Good Words: Practical Activities for Mourning teaches that grief is deeply related to love. It encompasses a broad spectrum of emotions as a reaction to a loss like death. Mourning occurs through a wide range of actions that we can take to work with that grief. Viewing grief as a hopeful journey rather than an obstacle, this book uses five realms of experience--emotional, spiritual, physical, cognitive, and social--to provide concrete mourning activities that address grief and lead to hope for healing. These activities are ones that readers can do as provided or adapt to fit their own unique circumstances and grief. The book ends with a discussion of practical ways to connect with our dying family members and friends, as well as specific actions we can take to help our families mourn when we eventually die. More Good Words looks honestly at grief and mourning in North America and offers hope for walking that necessary journey. Review Citations: Kirkus Reviews 01/01/0001 (EAN 9781490838090, Paperback)
