Tending Our Grief Jack Wiens

If you have suffered a loss in your life and are experiencing the painful and often disorienting ride on the waves of grief, this book was written for you. It is a practical, down-to-earth guide for your journey, not meant as a "fix" for your grief, but an honoring of the process, so you might do it as fully as you can while staying as healthy and balanced as possible. Besides being a seasoned psychotherapist and grief counselor, the author is also an accomplished illustrator/artist, and by drawing from both areas of expertise he has created a cartoon illustrated guidebook that is easy to access and digest, especially when emotions are heavy and energy low. This booklet will fit with any faith orientation or lack thereof. It is not preachy or syrupy, but it is helpful, inspiring and compassionate. In the Foreword, Neale Donald Walsch says,"I can tell you today that not since my work with Elisabeth [Kubler-Ross] have I seen such gently healing, insightfully hopeful, and profoundly helpful suggestions for dealing with loss than are found in Tending Our Grief."
