GRIEF and LOVE are two powerful emotions that are bound together and change your life forever. The death of a loved one is a terrible loss, but it also can bring with it a renewal of life and love -- if you allow yourself to grieve in a healthy manner. As Carl Jung said, "Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health."

All the following titles address loss, love, renewal, and an attempt to change your perspective on life a couple of degrees to the positive.

A Practical Guide to Widow/erhood

A compendium of articles that cover topics such as: Beginning Questions (deals with issues one faces immediately after the death of a spouse); Emotional and Physical Support (focusing on taking care of yourself and your family); Food For Thought (articles that encourage self-reflection); A New Perspective on Life (attempts to change the reader's point of view a couple of degrees to the positive); On Your Own For the First Time (covers topics relating to finances, finding a job, buying a car, etc) ; Time Saving Techniques (providing helpful time saving tips on how one person can complete the job of two); Moving Out and Moving On (addresses issues such as selling the family home, procuring child care; entering the job market); Coping Strategies for the Holidays (addresses the most difficult time of the year); The Next Stage of Life (discusses how to move into a new relationship); and Faces of Grief (interviews with widows and widowers); 150 pages.

Let's Get A Grip on Grief:
An Explanation of What Happens When a Loved One Dies

Death is one of the hardest subjects to broach with children, and most adults find themselves at a loss for words when confronted with this task. Let's Get a Grip on Grief is a picture book for children ages 5-8, and, instead of trying to explain death, it relates what will happen now that the event has taken place. Pictures have some color and at least one area to be colored in to make book interactive. Also included are guides for parents and a reading list. A recommended book of the Children's Grief Education Association.

Let's Get A Grasp on Grief:
Understanding My Feelings Now That My Parent Has Died

This concise book lets a child know it is "normal" to be confused after the death of a parent. It also gives suggestions on how to work out feelings and work toward a healthy resolution of grief. Includes an overlap of information, for parents, found in Grip on Grief. Minimal illustrations. A recommended book by the Children's Grief Education Association.

The Other Side of the Vail:
Spiritual Guidance for Everyday Living

This book is the result of a collaborative effort between Melinda Vail, an intuitive therapist, and Ellen Gerst. Ellen first came in contact with Melinda during her search for answers on her grief journey, and, through a long association, the two produced this simplistic, yet fascinating book. Melinda takes a no-nonsense approach to spirituality and gives the reader practical information to help heal his/her life. Based on the premise that we are all beings of energy, some of the topics covered include: God: An Energy Force; Accessing God's Energy: Our God-Mind; Harnessing Your Energy: Ego vs Spirit, Object Referral vs Self-Referral, and Love vs Fear; Physical Energy: The Seven Chakras; and Reversing Harmful Energy Patterns: Karmic Energy and Its Role In Reversing Disease, Disorder and Dysfunction. An easy read, the book also addresses how understanding our childhood dramas can lead to making better choices as an adult. Melinda teaches her precepts through the entertaining story of her own life. To illustrate the concepts, each section includes personal interviews with many of Melinda's clients.
