I read online your article – A Good life can exist beyond grief. Great article and it is so needed to talk about this issue on a regular basis as we seem not to want to in this grief, death denying society.
I have written a book on grief – “Baby Boomers Face Grief – Survival and Recovery” and I do many speaking engagements on this subject to hospices, palliative care associations and employers. Although the book is aimed for the Baby boomers it is a general book about grief. I have written several articles for different websites dealing with grief.
Part of the problem with grief is our society/culture will not allow people to talk about their feelings. It has been my pet peeve – hence the book. My background is a degree in nursing and 20 years working in the community health care system.
If you would like more info on the book you can find the introductory chapter and my bio etc at www.trafford.com/05-2319. It is available through myself (receipt provided), Trafford.com and Amazon.com.
I have been humbled by the comments I have received by people – my goal has always been to change the way we handle this in our society. I hope that you might include my book on your list of resources for your clients.
Bravo to you for providing this valuable service to your community- best of luck.
Jane Galbraith
