In compassionate, everyday language (no pscyho-babble here), Understanding Your Grief explains the important difference between grief and mourning and explores the mourner's need to acknowledge the death and embrace the pain of the loss. This important book also explores the many factors that make each person's grief unique and the myriad of normal thoughts and feelings the mourner might have. Questions of spirituality and religion are addressed. Dr. Wolfelt also offers suggestions for good self-care.
