Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Greetings: Here is some information that one might consider. http://www.globalideasbank.org/befaft/contents.html This web site talks about before and after, plans may already have been made but it wouldn't hurt to read what is written here. *As Someone Dies: A Handbook for the Living (Paperback) * by <http://www.amazon.com/s/102-6708695-2353735?ie=UTF8 & index=books & rank=-relevance\ %2C%2Bavailability%2C-daterank & field-author-exact=%2C%20> *A Journey through Grief by *Cornils, Stanley P. <https://catalogue.calgarypubliclibrary.com/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=11651J7K732O\ 1.48093 & profile=testa--1 & uri=search=PAUTHOR%7E%21Cornils,%20Stanley%20P. & ri=3 & as\ pect=subtab99 & menu=search & source=%7E%21cpl_production> Retired minister Cornils presents a considerate guidebook for managing grief that recalls his previous book, The Mourning After: How To Manage Grief Wisely. In clear writing reflective of his Christian standpoint, he covers handling the holidays, remarriage, money matters, etc., and outlines four steps to aid healing: acceptance, experiencing the grief fully, adjusting to a different life, and reinvesting one's emotions in something else. Grieving, he says, " is not a disease which needs to be cured but an experience which needs to be worked through. " As Cornils concludes, " You will never get over it, but you CAN get through it. " Though at times repetitive, Cornils consistently and comfortingly acknowledges the difficulties that mourners face. Solid, helpful, and featuring a directory of support groups and a bibliography, this is recommended for public libraries. Copyright © Business Information, a division of Elsevier Inc.
