Description
Listening to the bereaved—really listening—brings into sharp focus two things: their pain and their questions. In Living Beyond Loss: Questions and Answers about Grief and Bereavement, noted psychologist Robert Neimeyer compassionately engages the heartfelt inquiries of real bereaved people who have lost parents and partners, siblings and children, to illness, tragic accident, suicide and violence, and offers practical counsel on how to move forward toward a life that can again have meaning. Drawing on more than fifty years of experience in grief therapy and grounded in contemporary research on loss and resilience, this book is an indispensable guide to understanding the nuances of grief and adaptation, which is equally relevant to the bereaved themselves and to the therapists and professionals who strive to support them.
