Complicated Grief:: How to Understand, Express, and Reconcile Your Especially Difficult Grief, Paperback/Alan Wolfelt

Grief is always difficult, but if yours feels especially painful, stuck, or complex, you may be experiencing complicated grief. Complicated grief is not an illness or disorder. It's simply normal grief that's been made more challenging by circumstances that overwhelm the person in mourning. If someone you love has died of suicide, homicide, or accidental causes; if the death was violent or premature or ambiguous; if you are struggling with additional life issues right now, such as health challenges (physical or mental), family problems, or financial stress; if your relationship with the person who died was extremely close or troubled; if you have suffered several losses in quick succession--this concise guide is for you. In this compassionate resource by one of the world's most beloved grief counselors, you'll learn how complicated grief is different and what you can do to soften and eventually reconcile it. You'll inventory the reasons your grief is complicated. You'll learn the importance of engaging with and expressing your grief. And you'll find hope for your healing. There is a path through and beyond the wilderness of complicated grief. It's more arduous than most, but to li Dr. Alan Wolfelt has been recognized as one of North America's leading death educators and grief counselors. His books have sold more than a million copies worldwide and have been translated into many languages.
