Wonderful gem to help with grief

Up from Grief: Patterns of Recovery I originally read this book in 1981. Since then I have either passed my own numerous copies to friends who have lost a loved one. I also send the book to others far away. It is well written and helps the reader to understand what is happening to them and why it is happening the way it is. The stages of grief are shock, suffering and recovery. I suggest that the reader read the introduction and the shock chapters first until the other stages are reached. Simple to understand and reads well and quick. It is a comfort to be shown what you are feeling is "normal" and you will be okay.

A must read book for anyone who has lost a loved one.

Anyone who has lost someone they love will gain comfort from this small book on the stages of grief.It describes the stages of grief from many angles and most importantly that what one is feel ing is very normal.It is the kind of book the mourner will read and reread until acceptance and peace are found.
