Bereavement Books
Grief Recovery Books
Bereavement books and books about grief can be some of the most helpful resources for understanding the grief process. Counselors often encourage those in grief to start reading from other people's grief experiences. However, I also know that the mind has a very hard time staying focused during the stress of bereavement. So my advice is read as you can, not as you can't. Find one or two grief recovery books or personal experience books that fit your style and read it in small portions. The small portions is one reason I feel my own book "Seasons of Solace" is helpful bereavement reading. It contains approximately 30 narrative, slice-of-life poems, along with photos from nature that metaphorically speak to the emotion of grief. (The publishing date is March 2, 2010.)
