Book Description
Over thirty-five years in the making, this book brings refreshing new light and hope to the subject of grief resolution. Grace Terry, MSW, writes from her lived experience as a survivor of multiple traumatic losses with the foundation of her graduate education, professional experience and advanced training in grief mentoring. She effectively refutes twenty commonly taught and believed half-truths, falsehoods, and flat-out lies about grief, beginning with "the five stages..." She then provides practical strategies for pilgrims traveling the spiral pathway to grief resolution. THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU ...if you have ever experienced traumatic loss of any kind, whether resulting from a death or from any other event; if there is any possibility you will ever experience traumatic loss and you want to be prepared; if you are a survivor of the COVID-19 pandemic; if you know someone who has experienced loss and would like to be truly helpful; if you have ever had questions about "the five stages of grief," if you are a mental health profession, a health care provider, a family caregiver, a first responder, a clergyperson of any faith, an educator, a funeral services professional, or a person who manages or supervises others. This book will enlighten, brighten, and liberate anyone willing to learn the truth about grief and follow gentle suggestions.
