À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Reassuring and helpful strategies to guide you through your grief

Grief is a natural reaction to loss, but in some cases it can be devastating, causing a loss of direction and affecting our relationships and work.

This practical self-help guide will help you to regain a sense of control and offers tried and tested strategies for adjusting to life without your spouse, friend or family member.

Relentless grief can cause a host of physical problems, including difficulties eating, disrupted sleep and becoming over-reliant on alcohol. It can also lead to serious emotional and psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks and complicated grief. But techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can help.

The book covers:
· Coping with the unexpected or long-anticipated death of a loved one
· Establishing a positive routine and tackling avoidance of difficult issues
· Practical concerns such as finalising affairs and dealing with birthdays and anniversaries
· Returning to work and planning a new future
