Written by a clinical psychologist with lived experience of bereavement, this book aims to lessen the taboo around death and grief by inviting readers to reflect in an open, honest and judgment-free space.



Loss is something that we all experience in various ways, yet conversations about grief can feel particularly difficult as death continues to be a generally unspoken subject between many of us.

Written by a clinical psychologist with lived experience of bereavement, this book aims to lessen the taboo around death and grief by inviting readers to reflect in an open, honest and judgment-free space. Elaborating on different circumstances of grief, chapters provide psychologically informed, practical strategies for caring for yourself while navigating bereavement.

Topics explored include, but are not limited to:

• The impact of bereavement

• Life after death and what coping can look like

• Coping with the death of someone you have experienced trauma alongside or from

• Navigating bereavement as a parent

• Coping with death by suicide

• Bereavement in the context of war, as well as immigration

An essential read for anyone experiencing bereavement, this book guides and encourages readers to look after their wellbeing and become better informed about their individual process of grief. It will also be of interest to mental health practitioners looking for resources to support their clients, and to individuals in helping professions who have encountered bereavement at work or in their private life.

Arvustused

'This timely book integrates a wide range of contemporary approaches, the professional and personal experience of the author and attention to important but often neglected situations (e.g. bereavement in the refugee experience), distilling them into clear and practical suggestions for the grieving. A refreshingly knowledgeable and wide-ranging resource for the bereaved.'

Dr Ray Owen, Consultant clinical psychologist, author of Facing the Storm and co-host of podcast Two Old Psychologists Talking About Stuff

'This book engages with a wide range of contexts for bereavement, and acknowledges the importance of personal circumstances, including intersection with other trauma and with culture. Each chapter includes a range of practical ideas for growing through grief, but always recognises that none of these is a simple solution: grief is messy, and each one of us experiences it uniquely.'

Sands Bereavement Support Service

'Incorporating current thinking and approaches to grief and how to work through a significant loss experience, Coping with Bereavement is a wonderfully sensitive and thoughtful resource. Through the examples, practical suggestions, and realistic descriptions of grief that can occur from many types of loss experiences, readers will find this to be an incredibly useful guide that will help them navigate their grief in compassionate and helpful ways.'
