Coping With Grief And Loss

Loss is painful. Separation hurts. Grief hits us hard.
 

Oblivious to our suffering, the world around us carries on as if nothing happened. Stunned, shocked, confused, sad, and angry, we look around us in disbelief.
The pain can be overpowering. We look for comfort. We want to know what's happening to us and if the pain will ever end.
Counselor and grief specialist Addison Cooper has been a trusted voice to many hurting, grieving hearts for more than 20 years. Written with heartfelt compassion, this easy-to-read, warm, and practical book was written for those looking for hope and encouragement in times of loss.
Whether you've lost a spouse, child, parent, sibling, relative, or friend, Addison's desire is to meet you in your grief and help you through it. Coping With Grief is designed to be read one self-contained chapter at a time.

• Knowing what to expect when you are grieving
