In writing this book on grieving, Van Praagh hopes to offer comfort and reassurance of eternal life, "so that you do not have to go through the rest of your days groping blindly in sorrow and pain," he explains. Yet Van Praagh also offers doses of his own hard-earned wisdom, keeping this guidebook firmly grounded in an earth-smart kind of reality.<p> <I>Healing Grief</I> is divided into four sections: The first part addresses "The Process," how humans cope with grief, including personal ruminations on the classic four stages. In part 2 Van Praagh speaks to "When Someone You Love Dies," offering specific essays on losing parents, grandparents, siblings, lovers, best friends. In part 3 he recognizes the numerous other losses that we grieve over--divorce, midlife crisis, losing a home or a job. In the final section Van Praagh speaks to reclaiming our lives, calling upon all that he believes of the after-life as well as listing specific rituals and activities that promote healing. Fans will appreciate his characteristically smooth writing style and the numerous fascinating anecdotes from his clients. <I>--Gail Hudson</I> 567554 1993 Healing Grief: Reclaiming Life After Any Loss total:29|5:12|4:10|3:5|2:2| 29 119 43 4 5 0 false false Wed Sep 22 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Thu Feb 14 16:44:41 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 14 16:49:29 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 true false Sun Apr 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jan 13 21:14:41 -0800 2009 Sun Apr 26 17:06:18 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Sep 24 14:33:07 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 24 14:33:16 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jan 29 10:19:32 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 29 10:19:39 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Nov 06 14:27:53 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 14:27:53 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Oct 03 23:03:55 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 23:03:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 01 21:22:43 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 21:22:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 20 17:47:56 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 17:48:36 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Dec 04 15:51:01 -0800 2009 Fri Aug 07 17:04:28 -0700 2009 Fri Dec 04 15:51:01 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Fri Jul 10 06:30:51 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 06:30:51 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Thu May 14 10:50:21 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 10:50:26 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue May 12 21:08:07 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 21:08:07 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Apr 18 17:59:13 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 17:59:13 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Apr 13 20:04:51 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 20:04:51 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 02 16:15:55 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 16:16:15 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Feb 26 05:48:41 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 26 05:48:41 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Feb 17 20:15:48 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 20:15:48 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jan 17 09:55:48 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 17 09:55:48 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2000 Mon Dec 29 17:47:01 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 17:47:17 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Dec 20 21:20:26 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 20 11:43:33 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 20 21:20:26 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=580658
