I Can't Stop Crying: A Compassionate Guide to Grief and Recovery

Author(s): John D. Martin

Mind, Body & Spirit

The death of someone close - a family member, spouse or partner - results in overwhelming grief, yet all-too-frequently society expects people to move on in as soon as they can. I Can't Stop Crying looks at grieving as a painful but necessary process. The authors emphasise the importance of giving permission to grieve and suggest steps for rebuilding life without the one who is gone. Also examined is the affect on relationships with family and friends, as well as lifestyle, work and hopes for the future. Includes an appendix listing useful resources.
