To watch a child grieve and not know what to do is one of the most difficult experiences for parents, teachers, and caregivers. And yet, there are guidelines for helping children develop a lifelong, healthy response to loss.In When children Grieve, John W James and Russell Friedman of the Grief Recovery Institute, along with psychotherapist Dr. Leslie Landon Matthews, have created a cutting-edge volume that will help free children from the false idea that they "shouldn't feel bad" and will empower them with positive, effective methods of dealing with loss.There are many life experiences that can produce feelings of grief in a child, everything from the death of a relative or a divorce, to more everyday experiences such as moving to a new neighborhood or losing a prized possession. Whatever the reason or the degree of severity if a child you love is grieving, the guidelines examined in this thoughtful book can make a difference. For example:
<ul>
<li>Listen with your heart, not your head. Allow all emotions to be expressed, without judgment, criticism, or analysis.</li>
<li>Recognize that grief is emotional, not intellectual. Avoid the trap of asking your child what is wrong, for he or she will automatically say "Nothing."</li>
<li>Adults -- Go first. Telling the truth about your own grief will make your child feel safe in opening up about his or her own feelings.</li>
<li>Remember that each of your children is unique and each has a unique relationship to the loss event.</li>
<li>Be patient. Don't force your child to talk.</li>
<li>Never say "Don't feel sad" or "Don't feel scared. "Sadness and fear, the two most common feelings attached to loss of any kind, are essential to being human.</li>
</ul>

The book not only deals with grief from loss of a loved one, but also the grieving that occurs following a divorce, a sudden downturn in health, the loss of a job, and even the loss of faith.

Moving Beyond Loss: Real Answers to Real Questions from Real People―Featuring the Proven Actions of The Grief Recovery Method

Taylor Trade Publishing

If you’ve found yourself almost inconsolable after your pet died, please know that you’re normal. If you’ve found that your family and friends don’t seem to understand the level of your grief, please know that, too, is normal. Without comparing our relationships with our pets to those with people, we know that, because of the unique emotional relationships we have with our pets, their deaths produce a level of pain that is difficult to describe. If you relate to any or all of these sentences, this book is for you. We have been there and most probably will be there again. We will be with you on this journey to help your heart deal with the absence of your cherished companion. —Russell, Cole, and John Your relationship with your pet is special—it’s a bond that is very different than those that human beings share with each other. When a beloved pet passes away, people often resort to incorrect mechanisms to deal with the grief, such as trying to move too quickly past the loss (dismissing the real impact), or even attempting to replace the pet immediately. However, these are merely two myths out of six that the authors discuss and dismantle in The Grief Recovery Handbook for Pet Loss. Based on the authors’ Grief Recovery Method®, this book addresses how losing a pet is different from losing a human loved one, and ultimately, how to move on with life.

 Review 
"Este libro se require para todas mis clases. Mientras más uso este libro, más creo que el duelo no resuelto es el tema subyacente más importante en la vida de la mayoría de las personas. Este es el único trabajo de su tipo que yo se que describe el problema y provee la solución." (Bernard McGrane, Ph.D., Profesor de Sociología, Chapman University) 
ESTE LIBRO LO EXPLICA DE UNA FORMA EN LA QUE NINGÚN TERAPEUTA LO HARÁ 
Lo leí por primera vez en 1999 cuando murió mi papá (después de haber leído no sé cuántos libros). ¡ESTE ERA EL LIBRO QUE YO NECESITABA! Se nos "dice" como transitar a través del dolor (cuando estamos tan confundidos y pasando a través de la agonía del duelo) y este libro literalmente te quita la carga de los hombros. Es una emoción. Nadie lo puede explicar. Este libro lo explica de una forma en que ningún terapeuta lo hará. Oh, y los ejercicios que tienes que escribir --clave para sanar tu dolor emocional... Le he regalado este libro al incontables amigos que están muy agradecidos por él.
