Books like Grief, dying, and death by Therese A. Rando

Mitch Albom’s memoir follows his weekly visits to former sociology professor Morrie Schwartz as Schwartz confronts terminal ALS, exploring life, death, and personal growth through their poignant teacher‑student bond.

The five stages of grief, first formulated in this hugely influential work, are now part of our common understanding of loss. Ideal for all those with an interest in bereavement, this classic text is reissued with a new introduction looking at its influence on contemporary thought and practice.

Psychic medium Hollister Rand bridges the gap between living parents and their deceased children, sharing messages that address murder, suicide, accidental deaths, and the cycle of abuse and addiction—offering comfort, guidance, and the concept of "joy guides."

This comprehensive book will help caregivers understand and address the difficulties and complex issues associated with the loss of a child. The contributing authors of the book's 37 chapters, some of whom are bereaved parents, offer comprehensive analyses of many types of parental bereavement. The book identifies specific clinical interventions and support procedures that are appropriate for helping all bereaved parents.

"The loss of a loved one is one of the most painful experiences that most of us will ever have to face in our lives. This book recognizes that there is no single solution to the problems of bereavement but that an understanding of grief can help the bereaved to realize that they are not alone in their experience." "Long recognized as the most authoritative work of its kind, this new edition has been revised and extended to take into account recent research findings on both sides of the Atlantic. Parkes and Prigerson include additional information about the different circumstances of bereavement including traumatic losses, disasters, and complicated grief, as well as providing details on how social, religious, and cultural influences determine how we grieve." "Bereavement provides guidance on preparing for the loss of a loved one, and coping after they have gone. It also discusses how to identify the minority in whom bereavement may lead to impairment of physical and/or mental health and how to ensure they get the help they need."--Jacket.
