Coping with Grief and Loss: A Guide to Healing
Harvard Health Publications/Staywell, Jan 2010, Pages: 40
Sooner or later, everyone will grieve the loss of a close relative or friend, whether the cause is a sudden heart attack, a car accident, or the stresses of disease or age. Each year, 2.4 million men, women, and children die in the United States, leaving behind many others who mourn them. The passing of someone close to you begins a process that, while painful, is normal and expected. It’s an experience through which you gradually come to terms with the loss of your loved one and begin to regroup and see yourself in a new way. It’s common to feel overwhelmed at first by the depth and intensity of your loss. Coping with Grief and Loss is a guide to help you navigate these choppy waters.
Prepared by the editors of Harvard Health Publications in consultation with Michael Hirsch, M.D. Medical Editor, Massachusetts General Hospital Psychiatry Academy, Instructor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
