Dr. Nancy C. Reeves (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 15, 1999

A Path Through Loss is for anyone experiencing a current or past loss - death, separation, divorce, abuse, unemployment, accident, illness etc.

A Path Through Loss has practical information and strategies for moving through the grief process.

A Path Through Loss contains sections with blank pages for writing your journey. Each section is divided by a coloured illustration by Patricia Shreenan S.S.A. to encourage centering and meditation. For those who do not wish to write, blank sections can be used for photographs, drawings, dried flowers, newspaper clippings etc. The guide has a cerlox spine so it will lie flat for writing in and has thicker paper so ink will not show through to the back side of the page.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

What people are saying about A Path Through Loss:

Linda Kavelin Popov, author of The Family Virtues Guide - Nancy Reeves is a healer who has drawn on her rare depth of experience with the healing power of the grief process. Her book is a rich resource for anyones healing journey.

(Rev) Colin Johnstone, ThM, BCC, Head, Spiritual and Religious Care, B.C. Cancer Agency - A Path Through Loss fills an important gap in the resources useful for people experiencing a major life loss. Nancy Reeves does not impose a right way but rather encourages and affirms by offering a useful and very functional framework within which a person can do the grief work that they intuitively understand to be necessary. This framework replaces some of the chaos and confusion with order and structure. The guide is practical and self-directed, written in sensitive and supportive language. Its practical advice will especially help men as they seek to do as well as feel or think in their grief work. She also offers form, structure and practical suggestions to those seeking to explore and honour the spiritual dimensions of loss. Whether used for individual work or in grief recovery groups I am sure it will be a Healing Blessing for many.

Grania Litwin, Times Colonist, Victoria B.C. - her book is packed with insights and information.

This review is from: A Path Through Loss: A Guide to Writing Your Healing and Growth (Spiral-bound)

This book gave me the nudge I needed to do some very productive writing and processing. There is just enough theory to help me understand what is happening in my grieving without getting too complicated. The Energy Management Model is such a simple and powerful tool! The suggested writing topics and activities offer a wide range to choose from. I found this a comforting, respectful and empowering experience. Thank you Dr. Reeves!
