The Mourning Handbook by Helen Fitzgerald
Helen Fitzgerald, author of The Grieving Child, has compiled a guide to help readers practically and emotionally grieve the death of loved ones. No one should be left to grieve alone. Even with the help of friends and family, grieving the death of a loved one can be a complex, sometimes overwhelming, process. The Mourning Handbook is written as a companion to those mourners in need of practical and emotional assistance during the trying times before and after the death of a loved one. Having counseled thousands of people who have experienced loss, Helen Fitzgerald gives special attention to the complex emotions that can accompany especially traumatic situations, such as when a loved one has been murdered, when there have been multiple deaths, when a body has not been recovered, or when the mourner has been the inadvertent cause of death. Designed to conform to the special needs of the bereaved, The Mourning Handbook is written and organized in an accessible style punctuated by real stories of people who have experienced every kind of loss. With many subchapters and cross references, it can be consulted for a specific problem or read at length.Helen FitzGerald is the second youngest child in a family of thirteen. She grew up in the little town of Kilmore, Victoria, Australia, and went to the University of Melbourne to study English and History. Helen arrived to Glasgow University through India and London, where she earned a diploma and a master's degree in social work. She has over 10 years of experience as a criminal justice social worker, the most of which she spent at HMP Barlinnie, where she assisted in the release of violent offenders.
