Review

"For the bereaved, their family and friends who don't know where to turn, these are the pages to turn to." -- Eleanore Osborne, Daytona Beach News-Journal

"THE HEALING POWER OF GRIEF is a poignant reminder that our loved ones are with us - always!" -- Dougall Fraser, But You Knew That Already : What a Psychic Can Teach You About Life (Rodale Books, 2005)

Product Description

Facing the loss of a spouse or life-partner is difficult because loving is all-encompassing; love took most of our emotional energy as we embraced our spouse or partner. We cared that they were fulfilled and well. We wanted to protect them and make them happy. We were devoted, so much so, that losing this loved one, felt crippling. And so, when they are gone, we need to learn how to transform this energy into something positive. Not a substitute, but a conversion, from a "we" to an "I". The Healing Power of Grief is Gloria Lintermans story, twenty-four months of mourning and healing following the death of her precious husband, Rick. It is also Dr. Marilyn Stolzman's, a psychotherapist specializing in grief counseling, vision of healing as she offers tools, not psychobabble, a blueprint as it were, to help you to face your loss, mourn, and eventually, heal. This excellent resource also contains a WORKBOOK, providing the mourner with tools for getting in touch with and resolving feelings during their journey of mourning.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Healing Power of Lintermans and Stolzman, June 28, 2006
By S. H. Lam "Lam" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Healing Power of Grief: The Journey Through Loss to Life and Laughter (Paperback)
My wife passed away almost nineteen years ago. She was 42. I was 45. There are no words to describe the pain, devastation, and despair of such a loss. Friends urged me to attend a grief support group. There were seveal available in my area. I chose the H.O.P.E. Foundation, run by a Dr. Marilyn Stolzman. It was this program that helped me get my life together. It did not eliminate the pain and devastation, but it made it a little bit easier to cope. Today, Dr. Stolzman, in collaboration with Gloria Lintermans, has written a book, The Healing Power of Grief. I strongly urge those who have suffered a recent loss to read this book. It lays down in easy to follow steps everything that was part of the original program. The program made life a little more bearable for me. Hopefully the book will do the same for others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helping you move on, May 11, 2006
This review is from: The Healing Power of Grief: The Journey Through Loss to Life and Laughter (Paperback)
The Healing Power of Grief and The Healing Power of Love don't just help you recover from the loss of a loved one, but show you how to go on from there to find new love. Unlike some other books, which may be written in an academic style or expect you to subscribe to a certain faith, these books are written in an understandable language and have practical tools you can use on your own to help you through this difficult period in your life. I particularly liked the positive, affirming manner in which they're written. The authors don't preach to you or commiserate. As you work through the program, you'll gain a better understanding of what's going on inside you and become better each day at dealing with it. Reading about how others have handled similar losses makes you feel less alone. I recommend these books to anyone who is experiencing grief, not just after a loved one has died, but also after the break-up of a relationship.

This review is from: The Healing Power of Grief: The Journey Through Loss to Life and Laughter (Paperback)
I want to tell everyone who has lost a partner or spouse to put this book at the top of their list.
I particularly enjoyed author Gloria Lintermans's insights and her candor in sharing the details of her determined effort to find a new life. The real-life stories of others, the journaling section, and the comprehensive list of resources also set this book apart from others.
