Bereavement (4th Edition) by Colin Murray Parkes
The loss of a loved one is one of the most painful experiences that most of us will ever have to face in our lives. This book recognises that there is no single solution to the problems of bereavement but that an understanding of grief can help the bereaved to realise that they are not alone in their experience.
I have been reading and learning from Colin Parkes' work on death, grief, and loss for more than half a centuryDuring that time Parkes has emerged as the predominant world authority on the nature and consequences of bereavement -- Robert Jay Lifton, psychiatrist and author
