Good Grief by Johnson Md Timothy

This timeless classic, in large-print format, is accessible and comforting for all who are grieving.

For fifty years Good Griefhas helped millions of readers, including NFL players and a former first lady, find comfort and rediscover hope after loss. The large-print edition of this classic text features a foreword by one of the nation's leading communicators of medical health care information and an afterword by the author's daughters that shares how the book came to be.

Good Griefoffers valuable insights on the emotional and physical responses we all may experience during the natural process of grieving. The book identifies ten stages of grief--shock, emotion, depression, physical distress, panic, guilt, anger, resistance, hope, and acceptance--but, recognizing that grief is complex and deeply personal, shows there is no "right" way to grieve. This large-print edition makes this bestseller more accessible to all.

Whether one is mourning the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage, the loss of a job, or other difficult life changes, Good Griefis a proven steady companion in times of loss.
