Healing Grief : Reclaiming Life After Any Loss
by James Van Praagh
On This Page
Description
New Age. Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. HTML:James Van Praagh's first two books, both New York Times bestsellers, have been a powerful healing force for millions of readers. Using his talents as a medium, Van Praagh has not only helped the bereaved reach their lost loved ones and find peace but he has also illuminated the mysteries of death, the afterlife, and rebirth. His new book, Healing Grief, will once again draw from his compelling and uplifting readings, but with a new and special show more purpose- to show what the spirit world can teach us about the grieving process itself.While grief is clearly a natural response to death, it should also properly accompany life's other difficult passages, including times of transition, the loss of a relationship, or even the loss of a pet. Healing Grief begins with chapters that each examine a specific kind of loss - death of a parent, a spouse, or a child, the end of a marriage, or the onset of a troubling life change, such as unemployment or grave illness - and considers the particular bereavement issues it may engender. The book also offers advice on explaining death to children, on distinguishing healthy from destructive grief, and on harnessing the powers of healing through special exercises, meditation and affirmations. Healing Grief should be, in Van Praagh's words, "a manual for grieving well," offering an inspiring new perspective on grief from a world-renowned medium who has become an expert at helping people cope with unresolvable sorrow. show less

I like this author, so decided to read this book while I am not acutely grieving, since, if I was, I don't think I'd feel like reading. He writes here about loss, not just the loss of a loved one, but any loss. He discusses the unique pains of losing a child, losing a parent, losing a house, or a job. There are words of comfort, advice, and compassion. For reassurance that existence continues beyond "death", he has included many examples of loved ones that he has been privileged to reconnect across the great divide, both people and animals. He concludes with physical, emotional and spiritual healing meditations.
