Braving the Fire is the first book to provide a road map for the journey of writing honestly about mourning, grief and loss. Created specifically by and for the writer who has experienced illness, loss, or the death of a loved one, Braving the Fire takes the writers' perspective in exploring the challenges and rewards for the writer who has chosen, with courage and candor, to be the memory keeper. It will be useful to the memoirist just starting out, as well as those already in the throes of coming to terms with complicated emotions and the challenges of shaping a compelling, coherent true story. Loosely organized around the familiar Kübler-Ross model of Five Stages of Grief, Braving the Fire uses these stages to help the reader and writer though the emotional healing and writing tasks before them, incorporating interviews and excerpts from other treasured writers who've done the same. Insightful contributions from Nick Flynn, Darin Strauss, Kathryn Rhett, Natasha Trethewey, and Neil White, among others, are skillfully bended with Handler's own approaches to facing grief a second time to be able to write about it. Each section also includes advice and wisdom from leading doctors and therapists about the physical experience of grieving. Handler is a compassionate guide who has braved the fire herself, and delivers practical and inspirational direction throughout.

Margaret Laurence's much admired Manawaka fiction - The Stone Angel, A Jest of God, The Fire-Dwellers, A Bird in the House, and The Diviners – has achieved remarkable recognition for its compassionate portrayal of the attempt to find meaning and peace in ordinary life. In Writing Grief, Christian Riegel argues that the protagonists in these books achieve resolution through acts of mourning, placing this fiction within the larger tradition of writing that explores the nuances and strategies of mourning. Riegel's analysis alludes to sociological and literary antecedants of the study of mourning, including the tradition of elegy, from Derrida and Lacan to Freud, van Gennep, and Milton. The "work" of mourning is necessary to move from a state of emotional paralysis to one of acceptance and active engagement. Laurence's characters "perform the work of mourning ... returning over and over again to the key issues relating to loss," and, as Riegel's close examination of the texts suggests, are changed thereafter fundamentally and significantly. As an important study of one aspect of Laurence's oeuvre, Writing Grief not only illustrates how Laurence's own preoccupations with mourning are figured, but also how different ways of working through grief result in renewed potential for consolation and connection, and "a renewed definition of self."

Winner, ICQI 2022 Outstanding Qualitative Book Award In Writing the Self in Bereavement: A Story of Love, Spousal Loss, and Resilience, Reinekke Lengelle uses her abilities as a researcher, poet, and professor of therapeutic writing to tell a heartfelt and fearless story about her grief after the death of her spouse and the year and a half following his diagnosis, illness, and passing. This book powerfully demonstrates that writing can be a companion in bereavement. It uses and explains the latest research on coming to terms with spousal loss without being prescriptive. Integrated with this contemporary research are stories, poetry, and reflections on writing as a therapeutic process. The author unflinchingly explores a number of themes that are underrepresented in existing resources: how one deals with anger associated with loss, what a healthy response might be to unfinished business with the deceased, continuing conversations with the beloved (even for agnostics and atheists), ongoing sexual desire, and secondary losses. As a rare book where an author successfully combines a personal story, heart-rending poetry, up-to-date research on grief, and an evocative exploration of taboo topics in the context of widowhood, Writing the Self in Bereavement is uniquely valuable for those grieving a spouse or other loved one, those supporting others in bereavement, and those interested in the healing power of poetry and life writing. Researchers on death and dying, grief counsellors, and autoethnographers will also benefit from reading this resonant resource on love and loss.

When Barbara Abercrombie's husband died, she found the language of condolence irritating, no matter how well intended. "My husband had not gone to a better place as if he were off on a holiday. He had not passed like clouds overhead, nor was he my late husband as if he'd missed a train. I had not lost him as if I'd been careless, and for sure, none of it was for the best." She yearned instead for words that acknowledged the reality of death, spoke about the sorrow and loneliness (and perhaps even guilt and anger), and might even point the way toward hope and healing. She found those words in the writings gathered here. The Language of Loss is a book to dip into and read slowly, a collection of poems and prose to lead you through the phases of grief. The selections follow an arc that mirrors the path of many mourners — from abject loss and feeling unmoored, to glimmers of promise and possibility, through to gratitude for the love they knew. These writings, which express what often feels ineffable, will accompany those who grieve, offering understanding and solace.

Coping with the death of a loved one can be the most traumatic and stressful situation most people ever deal with - and the practical and emotional help available to the bereaved is often very poor. As the bereaved struggle to make sense of their new situation they often find that the advice they receive is produced by medical professionals who have never personally experienced grief; and filled with platitudes and clichés, with very little practical help. How long does grief last? What can I do to help myself? Are there really five stages of grief? Why can't other people understand how I feel? Will I ever be happy again? Pat Bertram debunks many established beliefs about what grief is, how it affects those left behind, and how to adjust to a world that no longer contains your loved one.

If you have recently lost your Wife, first: our condolences, we understand the feelings of loss. Grief can make it difficult to think about anything else so allowing yourself to write about it kills two birds with one stone. ''Letter'' Therapeutic writing Therapeutic writing after losing someone like ''the Wife'' allows you to express yourself freely and safely, which is rare in this highly judgemental world. It also provides you with the tools to explore and discover within so that you can build your inner strength back up again, this type of writing is the most therapeutic as the griever has the opportunity to speak out from the heart about what he or she wants to express. It can be especially helpful when the letter touches a sensitive issue. you will probably cry or smile when writing it, which is healthy, as it can tap into strong memories and emotions. The first step in writing a letter: is to not rush it, the grieving process is not something that can be rushed through, this letter writing process should be done at a pace that feels right to you, for some people, it will be fast and furious, and for other slow and come in fits and small starts. for those who are used to thinking things through before writing them down, it requires practice to write freely. Here ways to write as fearlessly as possible: Whatever you've typed, keep typing. don't stop to look back at what you've written and don't criticize yourself, this time, you're free from any self-criticism. You aren't writing for others to read. you're writing for yourself, so don't feel obliged to think and make the words coherent. just feel whatever it is you're feeling and continue typing. Type in one breath, one sweep. don't pause to think. give a chance for your feelings to flow effortlessly and let your fingers dance flowingly. The next step: is the actual letter, you may write as much or as little as you want, as noted before if you start feeling uncomfortable after writing a page or two then it's okay to stop, the process takes time, so pick it up then on a day when you may feel more comfortable. write everything you wish you could express to your wife, all the things you've been holding on to. The third step: is to read the letter out loud, go to a quiet place like '' beach or garden'' and make yourself comfortable, imagine that your wife is standing right in front of you and that you are reading the letter directly with her. Read it with all the energy and emotion that you can, Continue to hold their image in your mind as you express everything in the letter, You may find that you want to add things on even if the letter is finished, feel free to do so, and once you've expressed everything you want or find yourself tired out, wish to your wife a final goodbye. Note: When you are finished, some people find it helpful to destroy or throw away their writings, which may give you true freedom from the burden of negative experiences, do what feels right and always remember to treat yourself kindly. At last, give yourself time to grieve, everyone grieves differently and within their own timeframe, hopefully, some of the changes are eventual decreases in the intensity of painful feelings and longing and decreases in the length of time grief and feel overwhelming, the low times aren't as low and don't last as long, As time passes and we grow, we can also have new questions and insights about our losses which change the grief we experience, just let your heart and mind heal from this traumatic experience, never judge yourself in the healing process. whenever needed just write again freely.
