Five Ways We Grieve
Susan A. Berger
|
|
Finding Your Personal Path to Healing after the Loss of a Loved One.
In this new approach to understanding the impact of grief, Susan A. Berger goes beyond the commonly held theories of stages of grief with a new typology for self-awareness and personal growth. She offers practical advice for healing from a major loss in this presentation of five basic ways, or types, of grieving. These five types describe how different people respond to a major loss.
The types re
* NOMADS, who have not yet resolved their grief and often don't understand how their loss has affected their lives
* MEMORIALISTS, who are committed to preserving the memory of their loved ones by creating concrete memorials and rituals to honor them
* NORMALIZERS, who are committed to re-creating a sense of family and community
* ACTIVISTS, who focus on helping other people who are dealing with the same disease or issues that caused their loved one's death
* SEEKERS, who adopt religious, philosophical, or spiritual beliefs to create meaning in their live.
Drawing on research results and anecdotes from working with the bereaved over the past ten years, Berger examines how a person's worldview is affected after a major loss.
By identifying with one of the types, readers who have suffered a recent loss - or whose lives have been shaped by an early loss - find ways of understanding the impact of the loss and of living more fully.
