With sensitivity and insight, this series offers suggestions for healing activities that can help survivors learn to express their grief and mourn naturally. Acknowledging that death is a painful, ongoing part of life, it explains how people need to slow down, turn inward, embrace their feelings of loss, and seek and accept support when a loved one dies. Each book, geared for mourning adults, teens, or children, provides ideas and action-oriented tips that teach the basic principles of grief and healing. These ideas and activities are aimed at reducing the confusion, anxiety, and huge personal void so that living their lives can begin again.

This review is from: Healing Your Grieving Heart: 100 Practical Ideas (Healing Your Grieving Heart series) (Paperback)
This book is very good for dealing with grief. I lost my wife at 54 after a 15 month battle with cancer about 4 months ago. I had heard the author as as a speaker previously. I bought this book for my adult children (29 & 26) after the loss of their mother. I bought the companion book (for Spouses)for myself. When I lost my bother (at 61)a little over a month ago I bought this book for his adult child (who was really struggling as they had not had a good relationship for a long while) and the companion book for his spouse. They have all said it was very helpful.
His various books on 100 ways to Heal Your Grieving Heart are really thought provoking and helpful. They are short and easy to work to read and put to practice. I plan to buy more as time goes on to help others in need. Losing a love one is very difficult and this book helps to work through the challenging process of morning and grief, male or female.
