How to Cope with Loss
If you’ve had to deal with grief, then you know that the process can be complicated. There are so many feelings to sort out, so many what- ifs to process, that you may often wonder if what you are feeling is normal, and if it will ever end. This book, On Grief and Grieving, is here to help you.This book’s subtitle refers to five stages of grief, which include denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. While each of these five areas is touched on in the book, there is much more to read than just these five stages and what they mean. When I first got this book, I was expecting a separate, long chapter for each of the five stages, but the book is not written that way. Rather, it spells out the five stages in the first chapter, then it proceeds to talk about more specific topics, like regrets, hauntings, isolation, anniversaries, suicide, and more.I was recommended this book following the passing of my spouse and I found that it did have many good, comforting things to offer. Probably the strongest takeaways from this book are: 1. Everyone’s grieving process is different and there is no single way to grieve and 2. Grief is all about YOU, and your individual needs. Don’t let others try to pressure you to ‘get over it’ or tell you that you’re taking things to extremes or acting childish. Grief is personal, and every single one of us needs the time to deal the situation and recover as we see fit, on our own terms.Grieving is a process. It is something we all have to go through from time to time and while there is no defined endpoint to grief, it is good to understand how grieving differs from person to person. It is also good to know that the way you choose to grieve, the way you cope, and the way you respond is perfectly fine. On Grief and Grieving does take somewhat of a spiritual angle from time to time, which may not be suitable to all readers, but it remains generic enough in the spiritual dimension that most anyone can relate. It’s a good guide to grief, and a book I recommend.
