Books On Death And Grief

There are lots of books on death and grief to help people work through the grieving process. Some are better than others, and some are geared toward specific people. Here are my top choices for books on grieving the lose of a loved one, arranged by category.

GENERAL BOOKS ON GRIEVING:

On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss
- by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
On of the best books on death and grief, it takes readers through the five stages of grieving and some of the misconceptions we have about those stages. Written by a legend in the field of grief counseling, it's a heartfelt book that touches on the very core of what grief is and why it is important to grieve.

What customer say:
"I highly recommend that you read this book and that you give it to others, as personal circumstances "dictate." Kubler Ross is a legend in the field of grief counseling (she passed away within the last year) and Kessler brings remarkable humanitarian credentials of his own to the writing task. Their combined efforts results in producing a highly readable, compassionate, insightful, and useful book, nothing short of superb." - Bob Hoff

Tear Soup
- by Pat Schweibert
This book tells the story of Grandy, who loses someone close. The book doesn't say who has died, making it fit any situation. It follows the stages of grief and how people need to allow as much time as needed to grieve.

What customer say:
"In this modern fable, accompanied with full color illustrations, a woman who has suffered a terrible (unnamed) loss cooks up a special batch of "tear soup," blending the unique ingredients of her life into the grief process. Along the way she dispenses a recipe of sound advice for those who are in mourning or know someone who has suffered a loss. With more than 60,000 copies in print, Tear Soup is one of the most popular grief resources available for children and adults." - Carol Blank

I Wasn't Ready to Say Goodbye: Surviving, Coping and Healing After the Sudden Death of a Loved One
- Pamela D. Blair Ph.D.
Both authors of this book lost loved ones. I Wasn't Ready to Say Good-bye is the first book to devote all its pages to the unique challenges of sudden loss. They cover numerous topics, such as; the first few weeks, suicide, death of a child, when a body isn't found, children and grief, funerals and rituals, physical effects, homicide, depression and many others.

What customer say:
"This is the best I've seen. It does a comprehensive job of touching on the many types of loss, and offers helpful suggestions for coping. Something I particularly liked was that it doesn't rely on religious platitudes as a solution for grief. Rather, the authors encourage you to vent your anger at your creater - he (or she) is big enough and compassionate enough to take it. I would suggest this book to anyone who is dealing with grief. It doesn matter whether the loss just occurred, or is several years old." - Solo Papa
