Good Grief : A Constructive Approach to the Problem of Loss

Revised edition of a booklet first published in the United States in 1962, outlining the 10 stages of grief, from shock to readjustment, using Christian teaching to distinguish between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ grief and to assess its different causes.

This book describes what happens to us whenever we lose someone or something important. We all need a better understanding of the small griefs in life as well as those larger grief experiences that can overwhelm us. Here is a volume to be kept close at hand.

It can be used over the years as you encounter a wide variety of grief experiences or as you assist friends in moving beyond grief to good grief.

Examines the stages of grief, from stage one (a state of shock) to stage ten (the struggle to readjust to reality)
