Grief and Bereavement

When There Are No Words: Finding Your Way to Cope With Loss and Grief

Customer Review... "I read it immediately and contacted him by e-mail to let him know that his book was one of the most comforting books I had read. I am in the counseling field and have had opportunities to study death and counsel others, but I was not prepared for the impact that losing my son had on our family and many around us. Charlie has written to me with the same kind of encouragement that he offers in his book. He is real, practical, and also has published in large enough print that grieving people like me don't have to strain to focus."

In the Midst of Winter: Selections from the Literature of Mourning

Customer Review... "Wide-ranging, well-chosen short works (mostly poems, some chapters and essays) on death and grieving. I particularly liked how it was divided into "seasons" of grieving, so I could pick a section depending on how I was feeling in my bereavement that particular day (e.g., "Winter" is divided into Shock, Idealization and Anger, Sing Sorrow, Consolations, etc; "Summer/Fall" have Memory, Dreaming the Dead, Grief's Wisdom, etc). There are individual sections on Mourning the Loss of a Child and The Grief of Children."

Grieving the Loss of a Loved One

Customer Review... "What I appreciate most about this book is the author's honesty and candid writing. Because she too has suffered, she can relate to the reader's feelings of denial, grief and loss. Each entry is comforting, thought provoking, and will allow you to go at your own pace. I read some things more than once and skipped around, too, to whatever was appropriate for how I felt at the time. A must have if you have lost a loved one, or know someone who is dealing with this situation. It's just like talking to a good friend."
