Each of us will face some loss, sorrow and disappointment in our lives, and The Courage to Grieve provides the specific help we need to enable us to face our grief fully and to recover and grow from the experience. Although the book emphasizes the response to the death of a loved one, The Courage to Grieve can help with every kind of loss and grief.\nJudy Tatelbaum gives us a fresh look at understanding grief, showing us that grief is a natural, inevitable human experience, including all the unexpected, intense and uncomfortable emotions like sorrow, guilt, loneliness, resentment, confusion, or even the temporary loss of the will to live. The emphasis is to clarify and offer help, and the tone is spiritual, optimistic, creative and easy to understand. Judy Tatelbaum provides excellent advice on how to help oneself and others get through the immediate experience of death and the grief that follows, as well as how to understand the special grief of children. Particularly useful are the techniques for completing or \"finishing\" grief--counteracting the popular misconception that grief never ends. The Courage to Grieve shows us how to live life with the ultimate courage: not fearing death. This book is about so much more than death and grieving it is about life and joy and growth., ISBN13: 9780060911850 ISBN10: 0060911859 Material Type: paperback","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51193650676019,"sku":"CH_11-20-24_ART_301M7M","price":11.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/719kIOvXI8L.jpg?v=1753601758"},{"product_id":"why-suicide-answers-to-200-of-the-most-frequently-asked-questions-about-suicide-attempted-suicide-and-assisted-suicide","title":"Why Suicide: Answers to 200 of the Most Frequently Asked Questions About Suicide, Attempted Suicide, and Assisted Suicide","description":"A nonjudgemental guide for people whose lives have been touched by suicide offers practical answers to such related concerns as what to tell others, insurance coverage, preventability, and wh, ISBN13: 9780062511669 ISBN10: 0062511661 Material Type: paperback","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51243797840179,"sku":"47.10_4075480_20210911_15024","price":13.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/41-kuOf5ncL.jpg?v=1753604219"},{"product_id":"being-a-widow","title":"Being a Widow","description":"Discusses the early shock of a loved one's death, the first wobbly steps toward a new life, reemerging sexuality, assertiveness, stress, visitations and spirituality, problems with children, , ISBN13: 9780140130256 ISBN10: 014013025X Material Type: paperback","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51244587385139,"sku":"OZ_12-12-23_UBD_300AAY","price":21.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/5199AVLg6XL.jpg?v=1753607817"},{"product_id":"the-group-seven-widowed-fathers-reimagine-life","title":"The Group: Seven Widowed Fathers Reimagine Life","description":"The Group offers a singular perspective on grief by weaving together the latest thinking on bereavement, resiliency and post-traumatic growth with the true story of seven men who were raising, ISBN13: 9780190649562 ISBN10: 0190649569 Material Type: hardcover","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51244912247091,"sku":"CH_05-28-24_PHA_301E5C","price":11.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/61_ZVdGXX6L.jpg?v=1753608889"},{"product_id":"tiny-beautiful-things-advice-on-love-and-life-from-dear-sugar","title":"Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar","description":"NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Soon to be a Hulu Original series • The internationally acclaimed author of Wild collects the best of The Rumpus's Dear Sugar advice columns plus never-before-published , ISBN13: 9780307949332 ISBN10: 0307949338 Material Type: paperback","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51246441857331,"sku":"09-28-23_UBD_30050Q","price":13.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/51HDNk0YUmL.jpg?v=1753611829"},{"product_id":"it-must-have-been-moonglow-reflections-on-the-first-years-of-widowhood","title":"It Must Have Been Moonglow: Reflections on the First Years of Widowhood","description":"In December 1998, after fifty-six years of marriage, Phyllis Greene went from being part of the lifelong unit of \"Phyllis and Bob\" to being just plain Phyllis.\n\nTo deal with her feelings, she, ISBN13: 9780375506192 ISBN10: 0375506195 Material Type: hardcover","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51247479783731,"sku":"01-16-23_PHA_600FD7","price":13.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/71DAS7sTlNS.jpg?v=1753617839"},{"product_id":"the-unknown-matisse-a-life-of-henri-matisse-the-early-years-1869-1908","title":"The Unknown Matisse: A Life of Henri Matisse: The Early Years, 1869-1908","description":"Henri Matisse is one of the masters of twentieth-century art and a household word to millions of people who find joy and meaning in his light-filled, colorful images--yet, despite all the books devoted to his work, the man himself has remained a mystery. Now, in the hands of the superb biographer Hilary Spurling, the unknown Matisse becomes visible at last.\n\nMatisse was born into a family of shopkeepers in 1869, in a gloomy textile town in the north of France. His environment was brightened only by the sumptuous fabrics produced by the local weavers--magnificent brocades and silks that offered Matisse his first vision of light and color, and which later became a familiar motif in his paintings. He did not find his artistic vocation until after leaving school, when he struggled for years with his father, who wanted him to take over the family seed-store. Escaping to Paris, where he was scorned by the French art establishment, Matisse lived for fifteen years in great poverty--an ordeal he shared with other young artists and with Camille Joblaud, the mother of his daughter, Marguerite.\n\nBut Matisse never gave up. Painting by painting, he struggled toward the revelation that beckoned to him, learning about color, light, and form from such mentors as Signac, Pissarro, and the Australian painter John Peter Russell, who ruled his own art colony on an island off the coast of Brittany. In 1898, after a dramatic parting from Joblaud, Matisse met and married Amélie Parayre, who became his staunchest ally. She and their two sons, Jean and Pierre, formed with Marguerite his indispensable intimate circle.\n\nFrom the first day of his wedding trip to Ajaccio in Corsica, Matisse realized that he had found his spiritual home: the south, with its heat, color, and clear light. For years he worked unceasingly toward the style by which we know him now. But in 1902, just as he was on the point of achieving his goals as a painter, he suddenly left Paris with his family for the hometown he detested, and returned to the somber, muted palette he had so recently discarded.\n\nWhy did this happen? Art historians have called this regression Matisse's \"dark period,\" but none have ever guessed the reason for it. What Hilary Spurling has uncovered is nothing less than the involvement of Matisse's in-laws, the Parayres, in a monumental scandal which threatened to topple the banking system and government of France. The authorities, reeling from the divisive Dreyfus case, smoothed over the so-called Humbert Affair, and did it so well that the story of this twenty-year scam--and the humiliation and ruin its climax brought down on the unsuspecting Matisse and his family--have been erased from memory until now.\n\nIt took many months for Matisse to come to terms with this disgrace, and nearly as long to return to the bold course he had been pursuing before the interruption. What lay ahead were the summers in St-Tropez and Collioure; the outpouring of \"Fauve\" paintings; Matisse's experiments with sculpture; and the beginnings of acceptance by dealers and collectors, which, by 1908, put his life on a more secure footing.\n\nHilary Spurling's discovery of the Humbert Affair and its effects on Matisse's health and work is an extraordinary revelation, but it is only one aspect of her achievement. She enters into Matisse's struggle for expression and his tenacious progress from his northern origins to the life-giving light of the Mediterranean with rare sensitivity. She brings to her task an astonishing breadth of knowledge about his family, about fin-de-siècle Paris, the conventional Salon painters who shut their doors on him, his artistic comrades, his early patrons, and his incipient rivalry with Picasso.\n\nIn Hilary Spurling, Matisse has found a biographer with a detective's ability to unearth crucial facts, the narrative power of a novelist, and profound empathy for her subject., ISBN13: 9780375711336 ISBN10: 0375711333 Material Type: paperback","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51247486927155,"sku":"CH_02-27-25_ART_200001HR","price":23.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/71hh_gfkqLL.jpg?v=1753617934"},{"product_id":"transcending-loss-understanding-the-lifelong-impact-of-grief-and-how-to-make-it-meaningful","title":"Transcending Loss: Understanding the Lifelong Impact of Grief and How to Make It Meaningful","description":"“Compassionate, poignant, and practical. . . .

Jerusha McCormack provides instead a series of signposts by which we may find our own path to a new life.\n\n\"We are all amateurs at grief,” she writes, “it comes to us all; we must all go through it. To treat grief as a problem to be fixed, or (worse still) to medicalize it, is to rob us of the extraordinary privilege of encountering this experience on our terms: for each of us has our own way of grieving, and each of us has something special to learn from the process.”\n\n\"Every loss is unique. Each person grieves in his or her own way. The world is full of invisible sufferers — those who have lost someone through any manner of catastrophes. Perhaps nothing draws as deeply on individual creativity as grief does. It is a time to rally your own resources, to use them in such a way as to express your grieving as your own, and thus to take possession to it.\", ISBN13: 9781557254931 ISBN10: 1557254931 Material Type: paperback","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51260139766067,"sku":"07-27-23_ART_600M8U","price":11.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/41b6ORnN4kL.jpg?v=1753707318"},{"product_id":"remembering-mother-finding-myself-a-journey-of-love-and-self-acceptance","title":"Remembering Mother, Finding Myself: A Journey of Love and Self-Acceptance","description":"The loss of a mother is one of the most traumatic experiences of a woman's life. At any age, a mother's death may leave a daughter with feelings of anger, abandonment and profound sadness that taint the way she views herself, her world and every other relationship around her. In this breakthrough book, author Patricia Commins, who lost her mother at 26, shows readers that the key to escaping the sorority of sorrow is by understanding their mothers as women and by feeling an ongoing connection with them.\n\nFrom this perspective -outside the parent-child relationship that is so fraught with conflict and complex emotions - women gain key insights into their mothers and themselves. By addressing the psychological and spiritual connection that remains after a mother's death, Remembering Mother, Finding Myself offers the essential element that is missing from other books on motherless daughters. The Path of Understanding -a unique experiential process based on journaling, conversations with friends and relatives, and meditative exercises- does not seek to negate the loss a woman feels when her mother dies. It instead gently leads her beyond the grief and pain to a new awareness, freeing her from forever trying to be the perfect daughter.\n\nThrough her own illuminating experiences and those of other women, Commins shows women how to reconnect their deceased mothers while finding peace and self-acceptance. Included are interviews with dozens of women, including such notables as writers Joyce Maynard and Nancy Friday and psychiatrist Elizabeth Kubler-Ross., ISBN13: 9781558746664 ISBN10: 1558746668 Material Type: paperback","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51260192850227,"sku":"CH_12-02-24_PHA_301KYZ","price":14.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/71P1EburzdL.jpg?v=1753707759"},{"product_id":"a-broken-heart-still-beats-after-your-child-dies","title":"A Broken Heart Still Beats: After Your Child Dies","description":"A collection of poetry, essays, and fiction reflects on the horror and sorrow of losing a child, ISBN13: 9781568382012 ISBN10: 1568382014 Material Type: hardcover","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51260487598387,"sku":"FA_10-14-24_ART_301KVF","price":17.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/91NM3dj8N0L.jpg?v=1753709412"},{"product_id":"addiction-grief-letting-go-of-fear-anger-and-addiction-for-fans-of-the-mindfulness-workbook-for-addiction","title":"Addiction \u0026 Grief: Letting Go of Fear, Anger, and Addiction (For Fans of The Mindfulness Workbook for Addiction)","description":"Emotional Recovery From Addiction\n\nAuthentic recovery is more than an attitude.

Unlike most books on grieving the loss of a parent, Barbara Bartocci takes a comprehensive approach from caring for a dying parent through finding new meaning beyond grief. Barbara Bartocci, who has lost both of her parents, speaks from experience and offers poignant vignettes approaching hard questions with compassion and a wealth of practical wisdom. Nobody's Child Anymore is an immensely helpful and comforting resource for anyone caring for a dying parent, mourning the loss, caring for the remaining parent and seeking new meaning beyond grief. Introduction When our parents die and we are adults, we're expected to say, This is an appropriate death. My father . . . my mother . . . lived a full life. It is their time. I'm okay with that. But we are not okay with it. Losing a parent--at any age--is a profound loss. It is such a primal connection, that of parent and child. No matter what your age, no matter what the circumstances of your rearing, no matter how loving or how lethal your relationship, it's impossible to completely ignore the people who gave you life. You can divorce a spouse but not your parents. There is that ultimate tie--the genetic inheritance that somehow entwines us no matter how hard we may try to disconnect. As society ages, and more people experience this inevitable passage, people are beginning to realize that it?s not an easy loss just because your parents are in their 60s, 70s, 80s, or even 90s. I was surprised at the depth of my pain when my parents died. And since there isn't yet a lot of cultural support when adults lose their parents, I had to feel my way, as if walking through an unfamiliar forest. I have written this book as a gentle guide through the forest of feelings you may be encountering. It is not a practical manual--turn to other sources for help in planning a funeral or settling an estate. Rather, I share my own experience and the thoughts and experiences of others as a source to ease your soul-pain. The four parts of this book parallel the four-fold experience of loss through which we pass. It begins when we are called upon to care for one of our parents and we come to the difficult realization that Mom or Dad is dying. Then, after the loss, we struggle with the pain of our grief and perhaps some unresolved issues in our relationship with our parents. At the same time, we are often called upon to offer comfort and support to our surviving parent. We may then lose a second parent and experience the special pain of becoming an adult \"orphan.\" Grieving is a process that has its own time. But eventually, we come to some resolution of our pain and we complete our grief. I have learned that there is a special light that may come in the wake of our parents' leaving. I discovered, as you will, too, that in a deeper sense, our parents don't leave us. They become part of us.

As our country’s leading death doula, she’s spreading a transformative message: thinking about your death—whether imminent or not—will breathe wild, new potential into your life.\nWarm, generous, and funny AF, Alua supports and helps manage end-of-life care on many levels. The business matters, medical directives, memorial planning; but also honoring the quiet moments, when monitors are beeping and loved ones have stepped out to get some air—or maybe not shown up at all—and her clients become deeply contemplative and want to talk. Aching, unfinished business often emerges. Alua has been present for thousands of these sacred moments—when regrets, fears, secret joys, hidden affairs, and dim realities are finally said aloud. When this happens, Alua focuses her attention at the pulsing center of her clients’ anguish and creates space for them, and sometimes their loved ones, to find peace.\nThis has had a profound effect on Alua, who was already no stranger to death’s periphery. Her family fled a murderous coup d’état in Ghana in the 1980s. She has suffered major, debilitating depressions. And her dear friend and brother-in-law died of lymphoma. Advocating for him in his final months is what led Alua to her life’s calling. She knows firsthand the power of bearing witness and telling the truth about life’s painful complexities, because they do not disappear when you look the other way. They wait for you.\nBriefly Perfectly Human is a life-changing, soul-gathering debut, by a writer whose empathy, tenderness, and wisdom shimmers on the page. Alua Arthur combines intimate storytelling with a passionate appeal for loving, courageous end-of-life care—what she calls “death embrace.” Hers is a powerful testament to getting in touch with something deeper in our lives, by embracing the fact of our own mortality. “Hold that truth in your mind,” Alua says, “and wondrous things will begin to grow around it.”, ISBN13: 9780063240032 ISBN10: 0063240033 Material Type: hardcover","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732623753523,"sku":"FA_06-30-25_PHA_20000N6X","price":12.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/81V67c0JhAL.jpg?v=1753604970"},{"product_id":"going-home-finding-peace-when-pets-die","title":"Going Home: Finding Peace When Pets Die","description":"In Soul of a Dog, Izzy \u0026amp; Lenore, A Good Dog, and other acclaimed works, New York Times bestselling author Jon Katz has written meaningfully about the cherished bond between humans and animals—especially our intense connection to our pets. Now, in this moving and thoughtful book, Katz addresses the difficult but necessary topic of saying goodbye to a devoted companion, and offers comfort, wisdom, and a way forward from sorrow to acceptance.\n\nWhen Jon Katz first brought Orson home, he couldn’t predict how this boisterous border collie would change his life, most notably by inspiring him to buy Bedlam Farm. Yet for all of Katz’s years as a dog owner, Orson’s death shook him in a deeply profound way. “I was embarrassed by my grief,” he remembers. “What right did I have to fall to pieces over a border collie?”\n\nDrawing on personal experiences, stories from fellow pet owners, and philosophical reflections, Katz provides guidance and support for those in mourning. By allowing ourselves to grieve honestly and openly, he posits, we can in time celebrate the dogs, cats, and other creatures that have so enriched us. With great compassion, Katz compels us to consider if we gave our pets good lives, if we were their advocates in times of need, and if we used our best judgments in the end.

Hope Edelman lost her mother to breast cancer when she was eighteen. Unable to find a book to help her understand and cope with that loss, she decided to write her own. She posted notices asking motherless women to share their experiences with her, and was unprepared for both the number of responses she received, and for their emotional intensity. Eventually meeting with 92 women and surveying 154 by mail, Hope was able to compare how mother loss affects daughters differently depending on their ages, their relationships to their mothers, their father's attitude, and the support or dependency of siblings.

Our ideas about dying are confusing at best: Will our memories flash before our eyes? Regrets consume our thoughts? Does a bright light appear at the end of a tunnel?

When she got pregnant at nineteen, she was shunned by her community and enrolled herself in nursing school to be able to support herself and her baby. But nursing soon became more than a job: when she focused on palliative care and hospice work, it became a calling.\n\nIn The In-Between, Vlahos recounts the most impactful experiences she’s had with the people she’s worked with—from the woman who never once questioned her faith until she was close to death, to the older man seeing visions of his late daughter, to the young patient who laments that she spent too much of her short life worrying about what others thought of her—while also sharing her own fascinating journey.\n\nWritten with profound insight, humility, and respect, The In-Between is a heartrending memoir that shows how caring for others can transform a life while also offering wisdom and comfort for those dealing with loss and providing inspiration for how to live now., ISBN13: 9780593499931 ISBN10: 059349993X Material Type: hardcover","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769536774451,"sku":"A.32.3 F_06-04-25_ART_H0000AFT","price":12.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/81NXiXdWgIL.jpg?v=1753656497"},{"product_id":"fa_06-30-25_pha_20000n6z","title":"Nothing to Fear: Demystifying Death to Live More Fully","description":"The instant New York Times bestseller!\n\nA comforting and informative guide that demystifies our end-of-life journey, from the compassionate expert known as @hospicenursejulie\n\nWhat if we didn’t consider death the worst possible outcome?
