Description

In this practical guide, psychotherapist Christine Hopfgarten looks in detail at the different reasons that we may encounter feelings of loss, including bereavement, relationship break-up, loss of a job, fertility problems or miscarriage, and illness. The book clearly lays out the possible stages of grief and shows you how to move through the grieving process. By blending clinical knowledge with insights from those with lived experienced, this guide will help you make sense of your emotions and gain an understanding of how these fit into your own unique experience of grief.
