Healing Grief, Finding Peace: 101 Ways to Cope with the Death of Your Loved One Paperback - 2011 - 1st Edition

From the publisher

A grief book that offers 101 pieces of practical advice on grief and healing.

There is no way to prepare for the loss of someone close. However, you do have a choice in coping with the death of a loved one and -- most importantly -- finding the strength to grow through the pain of your loss.

In his book on grief and the loss of a spouse or another loved one, grief counseling expert Dr. Louis LaGrand offers 101 pieces of practical, accessible advice to help mourners in understanding your grief and healing after loss, including:

• Starting each day with an affirmative action
• Establishing a grief or worry time
• Planning in advance for birthdays, anniversaries, and important holidays
• Learning to enjoy new routines
• Letting go of "if onlys" and "what ifs"
• Never ruling out happiness

This comforting, yet straightforward book is designed to gently lead you on a new pathway of lasting inner peace by using the one thing you can control: your own response to grief.

Praise for Healing Grief, Finding Peace:

"Dr. LaGrand's advice and recommendations reach from and to both heart and head...a powerful and important lesson about grief: that even in grief, we can still grow." --Kenneth J. Doka, PhD, senior consultant, Hospice Foundation of America
