À propos de cet audio
A warm, moving, and practical guide to grief from a leading bereavement counsellor, Grief Works features deeply affecting case studies of the author's clients, which will appeal to listeners of Atul Gawande's Being Mortal, Stephen Grosz's The Unexamined Life, and Paul Kalanithi's When Breath Becomes Air.
Death is the last taboo in our society, and grief is still profoundly misunderstood. So many of us feel awkward and uncertain around death and shy away from talking honestly with family and friends. Grief Works is a compassionate guide that will inform and engage anyone who is grieving, from the "expected" death of a parent to the sudden unexpected death of a small child, and provide clear advice for those seeking to comfort the bereaved.
With deeply moving case studies of real people's stories of loss and brilliantly accessible and practical advice, Grief Works will be passed down through generations as the definitive guide for anyone who has lost a loved one and revolutionize the way we talk about life, loss and death.

"The book will allow us to stop feeling awkward and uncertain about death - and why we should talk honestly about grief." (The Guardian, UK)
"Psychotherapist Julia Samuel's case studies provide vital and compelling insights into bereavement.... Fascinating and affecting." (The Observer, UK)
"If a single book could help you to be kinder and more compassionate, could expand and deepen your understanding of other people (and possibly yourself) and make you less afraid of dying in the process, you would surely be eager to acquire it at once. Well look no further, for Grief Works is that book." (The Spectator, UK)

Content Most Helpful,
The insights and case studies were so helpful in understanding how different people grieve. It was also helpful to understand how the circumstances of a loved ones death affected the survivors in unique ways. I came away with a better sensitivity to the trauma faced by loved ones who go through these trials. It is certainly a book most should read.
Now the difficult part. This is serious topic and cannot be treated in a light hearted manor. However, id did find the presentation a little too monotone. I would have welcomed a bit more inflection in the readers voice. It was a bit too soft.
But on the whole, a worthwhile and important book.
