For you who have lost someone

New book for relatives and bereaved about grief after a death. It is written by Lene Holm Larsen, psychologist and researcher at the Unit for Bereavement Research.

 

How do you go on living when you have lost a person you love? Grief can knock you off your feet. It can make everything feel unreal. It can fill life with pain, powerlessness, and meaninglessness. You may lose hope for the future. It can be hard to believe that things can get better again. But they can.

The book is written for people who have lost an important person — perhaps recently, perhaps some time ago. It guides the reader through the landscape of grief by describing the feelings and reactions that naturally arise, and by explaining how grief changes and develops over time. The book is based on many years of work with bereaved individuals and provides knowledge about both grief and people’s natural resources, as well as sharing recommendations from others who have lost someone, focusing on what can help in grief.
