Editorial Reviews
Review
This Handbook for Care Providers could easily be renamed The Bible for Care Providers given its depth of coverage, enormous range of topics, soulfulness, and its usefulness as a guide for all grief-care-providers..
–The Maryland Psychologist, May 2005
Product Description
We are care providers all. Whether you’re a professional care provider or someone who wants to comfort a loved one in pain, you can learn how to accompany and support an anguished person on his or her "grief journey" when tears are not enough. Helping Grieving People teaches you how with practical guidelines on what to say, what to do, and how to act around a person who is grieving. Special emphasis is given to the needs of grieving children, parents, older adults, family caregivers as well as the dying and chronically ill and/or impaired. The book includes a rich source of both supportive and clinical suggestions, discusses the role of culture, family and nature of the death on the grief reactions. Personal stories, case histories, and self-awareness exercises are woven in throughout the book.

This Handbook for Care Providers could easily be renamed The Bible for Care Providers given its depth of coverage, enormous range of topics, soulfulness, and its usefulness as a guide for all grief-care-providers. - The Maryland Psychologist
‘So reader-friendly was this book that I’d happily encourage the interested bereaved to dip into it to help make sense of what they are experiencing and to gauge its normality.’ – David Kissane, Bereavement Care
I recommend this book wholeheartedly to healthcare chaplains who are wanting an introduction to the subject of grief, looking for a guide through the maze of current thinking, or (like me) needing to bring their knowledge a little more up to date. The book includes a very helpful summary of seminal theorists from Bowlby to Neimeyer and the insights of these and others are drawn on throughout the book. - Geoff Walters, Senior Chaplain at Pilgrams Hospice, Ashford, in Association of Hospice and Palliative Care Chaplain News, February 2006.
The authors wealth of experience, both personally and professionally, allows one to step into a world of practical clinical information, useful case studies, and deeply personal reflections that carry the reader to broader levels of understanding of the mourners path.
The interaction of the reader is a major component to the success of Helping Grieving People, as it allows insight into personal discovery which can only serve as a tool for working with others.
This book well serves professionals and grieving individuals as a template of understanding of the grief process, a practical guide for care providers, and a complete wealth of information on the subject of bereaved mourners. J. Shep Jeffreys has produced an invaluable tool for anyone working with issues of loss and grief by building a strong foundation of knowledge necessary to deal with the complexities associated with bereavement in todays world. - Linda Goldman, in Death Studies, 32: 693-699, 2008.
