Overcoming Grief by Sue Morris
Grief is a natural and healthy reaction to loss but it can be extremely debilitating and result in a downward emotional spiral, impacting on such aspects of life as relationships and work. Relentless grief can cause a host of physical problems due to the sufferer not looking after themselves properly, for example not eating, becoming over-reliant on alcohol, experiencing disrupted sleep. It can also lead to serious emotional and psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, health anxiety and panic attacks. This self-help book will prove invaluable to the recently bereaved, guiding them through the painful process of bereavement. Topics covered: Dealing with expected or unexpected death Challenging unhelpful thoughts Establishing a routine and tackling avoidance Returning to work Practical aspects such as dealing with the funeral, birthdays, etc. Planning a new future
I would not hesitate to recommend this book, not only to the bereaved.. but also to grief therapists as a resource. * Nursing Standard *
A useful resource. * Mental Health Practice *
