Through stories, poetry, personal contemplations, helpful quotations, and research, Shea shows that each person's grief is unique. Her subtitle is "A Soulful Guide to Navigate Loss, Death & Change." She promises this, and she delivers it with grace and love." (Betty Staley, M.A., Waldorf Educator, author of Tending the Spark)

What do we do when a friend, relative, or loved one dies? If we wish to understand loss experience, we must learn details of survivors' stories. In How We Grieve, Thomas Attig tells real-life tales to illustrate the poignant disruption of life and suffering that loss entails. He shows how through grieving we meet daunting challenges, make critical choices, and reshape our lives. These intimate treatments of coping hold valuable lessons that address the needs of grieving people and those who hope to support and comfort them. The accounts promote understanding of grief itself, encourage respect for individuality and the uniqueness of loss experiences, show how to deal with helplessness in the face of "choiceless" events, and offers much priceless guidance for caregivers. Grieving is not a process of passively living through stages. Nor is it a clinical problem to be solved or managed by others. How We Grieve shows that grieving is an active, coping process of relearning how to be and act in a world where loss transforms the fabric of our lives. Loss challenges us to relearn things and places; relationships with others, including fellow survivors, the deceased, and even God; and most of all ourselves, including our daily life patterns and the meanings of our own life stories.

In this groundbreaking new work, David Kessler—an expert on grief and the coauthor with Elisabeth Kübler-Ross of the iconic On Grief and Grieving—journeys beyond the classic five stages to discover a sixth stage: meaning. In 1969, Elisabeth Kübler Ross first identified the stages of dying in her transformative book On Death and Dying. Decades later, she and David Kessler wrote the classic On Grief and Grieving, introducing the stages of grief with the same transformative pragmatism and compassion. Now, based on hard-earned personal experiences, as well as knowledge and wisdom earned through decades of work with the grieving, Kessler introduces a critical sixth stage. Many people look for “closure” after a loss. Kessler argues that it’s finding meaning beyond the stages of grief most of us are familiar with—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—that can transform grief into a more peaceful and hopeful experience. In this book, Kessler gives readers a roadmap to remembering those who have died with more love than pain; he shows us how to move forward in a way that honors our loved ones. Kessler’s insight is both professional and intensely personal. His journey with grief began when, as a child, he witnessed a mass shooting at the same time his mother was dying. For most of his life, Kessler taught physicians, nurses, counselors, police, and first responders about end of life, trauma, and grief, as well as leading talks and retreats for those experiencing grief. Despite his knowledge, his life was upended by the sudden death of his twenty-one-year-old son. How does the grief expert handle such a tragic loss? He knew he had to find a way through this unexpected, devastating loss, a way that would honor his son. That, ultimately, was the sixth state of grief—meaning. In Finding Meaning, Kessler shares the insights, collective wisdom, and powerful tools that will help those experiencing loss. Finding Meaning is a necessary addition to grief literature and a vital guide to healing from tremendous loss. This is an inspiring, deeply intelligent must-read for anyone looking to journey away from suffering, through loss, and towards meaning.

Grief is the result of the loss of someone you love or something that is important to you. However, grief does not have to define the rest of your life, you can become stronger and better in the end. The mind needs to heal from grief the same way that the body needs to heal from a physical wound. Grief doesn’t leave you the way it met you, but you don’t have to be stuck in grief. You can move forward with your grief. When grief strikes, you may think that life can never be good again, but it can. Grief doesn’t have to break you. You can become a stronger person through your grief. How can this happen? By doing the ‘grief work’ well. Friends are waiting to help the grieving person, but they don’t know how. Stepping into the Sunlight encourages the one who has suffered a loss to stare the loss in the face, intentionally take charge of their grief, and be strategic about recovery. It also offers advice to the friend who is keen to support the bereaved on how to help their friends take the vital steps back to life. Reviews Some people find it a task to read an entire book. I am one of those. But I could easily finish reading Stepping into the Sunlight. Busola is a natural storyteller who infuses stories at the appropriate places, from the beginning to the end, making the book easy to read. From stories of people who lost personal belongings, health, or a dream, to bereavement from loss of spouse, mother, father, sibling and child, Busola’s stories are of real people in today’s real life. You won’t want to put this book down! It is a book that should be on everyone’s shelf. -Ihuoma Akinremi I enjoy my relationships with people until they become bereaved. Then I feel a sense of inadequacy to provide the support I think I should offer, as a good friend. So, if I can, I avoid being with them when they grieve. This doesn’t mean I love them any less, only that I’m worried my attempts to comfort them may make them more miserable. ‘Stepping into the Sunlight’ reassures me that I am not alone in my feelings of inadequacy, whilst at the same time empowers me with the tips that I need to become that shoulder that my friends can lean on in their season of bereavement. It has been a blessing gleaning from the experience and wisdom Busola shares. -Semedeton Ilo ‘Stepping into the Sunlight’ shows that grief doesn’t have to destroy us. We can grieve in a way that helps us to grow and brings us healing in the end. We can, in turn, reach out to support others when they are in similar situations. I agree with Busola that God can bring accelerated healing from grief as he does from physical wounds. -Yop Chundusu What do you tell a friend who is grieving the loss of a loved one? That God loves them? That God will see them through? That they will see the light at the end of the tunnel? What more should I say and how can I help my friends? This book answers the questions you would ask if you find yourself in this situation. -Tity Nwankpa Busola writes about the various stages of grief and gives helpful suggestions on how you can navigate those stages if you're grieving or how you can help a grieving friend. There's a time in everyone's life where loss touches you and at other times, you have to put out that hand to help somebody else. It's a good book to have and one that I'll go back to again and again. -Helen Sawyerr This book gives answers to common questions asked during grieving. It uses research, shared experiences and the word of God to help the bereaved process their feelings; and to help their loved ones be there for them in the best way possible. I have no doubt this all-encompassing guide will be a blessing to many. -Ubong Udoh Olubusola Eshiet takes the bereaved and their friend on a journey of acceptance of loss and of healing. She provides real steps from the darkness of grief into the sunlight! I admire the author's willingness to be candid, vulnerable, and unflinchingly honest. -Oluwadunsin Abike Oyewo

BOOK TITLE DESCRIPTION: Grief Entanglements: Understanding Unresolved Grief and What You Can Do About It will benefit anyone who wishes to understand, or avoid becoming involved in, an entangled grief experience. It is for the grieving person who experiences one or more of the following: -Reoccurring or tormented reminders of the loss, -Unresolved feelings and emotions, -Continual or obsessive, sad or dark, thoughts regarding loss, -Feelings of being lost and without purpose, -Seeming inability to let go of the grief. This original work introduces a simple, yet extremely effective perspective on processing unresolved grief. What is a Grief Entanglement? In listening to hundreds of grief stories over a period of more than twenty-five years, Professional Counselor, Sharon Greenlee, identifies six sets of story patterns that emerge repeatedly. These patterns involve circumstances or issues that may cause the grieving person to become stuck in the grief process. When the bereaved continues to relive one or more of these story patterns over a prolonged period of time, it becomes, what the author refers to, as a grief entanglement. Real-life stories explain the six grief patterns. Ways to move from entangled grief, to a healthy and peaceful resolve, is the theme of this work.

"What did they do?", "What did you last say to them?", "How did they look?", "What did they wear?", "How was their mood that day?", "Did they complain about any pain?"
