Now That the Funeral is Over: The Common Sense Guide for Grieving People

‘Do not walk around the edge of your grief’, says Doris Zagdanski, in this common sense guide for grieving people.Grief is often described as the ‘normal and natural’ response to loss. Yet, whenit happens to us, we often feel like we’re going crazy and there’s nothing normal about our world right now. And so begins a time of change, re-organisation and adaptation. In this book, Doris describes the ups and downs of grief. There are no stages or phases to follow, just your ‘grief work’ to do. And as you turn each page, there is an inspirational thought to guide you along. Be reassured - your grief is what you say it is. They’re your feelings, your truth. It’s important that you know this because your loss and grief experiences eventually shape who you are. They become a part of your life story. And if you know someone who’s grieving, learn why you don’t have to fi x it or try to take their pain away. Find out the right response to anger, guilt or ‘why me?’ This is a small book which is big on wisdom, strategies and helpful ideas.
