[A] roadmap for those in grief.
--Lawrence J. Lincoln, M.D., Staff, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Center
A practical guide for those who have difficulty in finding their
way back after profound ordeals....Highly valuable and
compassionate.
--Norman Cousins, author of Anatomy of an Illness
Loss is a universal experience and too often, because they don't
know what to say, well-meaning doctors, friends, and family say,
'Don't worry, you'll get over it.' We never get over a major loss
but we can find a way through it to enjoy a full and fulfilling
life. In Life after Loss, Bob Deits provides compassionate and
practical advice for grieving and rebuilding a meaningful life
after loss. As a palliative care physician, I care for people
dealing with serious illness and those facing the end of life and
their loved ones--where grief and loss are a constant presence. I
will recommend this wise and important book as essential reading to
all my patients and their families.--Steven Z. Pantilat, MD,
Kates-Burnard and Hellman Distinguished Professor of Palliative
Care; Director, Palliative Care Program, UCSF; author of Life after
the Diagnosis: Expert Advice on Living Well with Serious Illness
for Patients and Caregivers
Old grief is as important a work as new grief, and it resurfaces
with brand new lessons....Sooner or later, a difficult journey will
come knocking (again), igniting the grief process. No one should be
without this brilliant healing toolbox of a book.
--Maryann Makekau, founder of Hope Matters and coauthor of When
Your Grandma Forgets
One of the classics in the field of crisis intervention, with wise,
reassuring, and understanding emotional guidance and practical
suggestions for strength and support.
--Rabbi Earl Grollman. D.D., author of Living when a Loved One Has
Died
