Transcending Loss

Compassionate poignant and practical. . . .Transcending Losswill be a great blessing on your lifetime journey of recovery.Harold Bloomfield MD psychiatrist and author ofHow to Survive the Loss of LoveandHow to Heal DepressionDeath doesnt end a relationship it simply forges a new type of relationshipone based not on physical presence but on memory spirit and love. There are many wonderful books available that address acute grief and how to cope with it. But they often focus on crisis management and imply that there is an end to mourning and fail to acknowledge griefs ongoing impact and how it changes through the years. This is a book about death and grief yes but more important it is a book about love and hope. I have learned from my experience and interviews with courageous people about pain struggle resiliency and meaning. Their stories show over time you can learn to transcend even in spite of the pain.from the introduction by Ashley Davis Bush LCSW
