Walking Backwards into Your Future : Coping with Grief Through Continuing Bonds
Author(s): Kath Beattie
Second-hand book in good condition, other than slight wear on cover corners and edges.
In this book, on coping with grief, Kath Beattie sates that 'Continuing bonds with the deceased is about carrying the 'loved on' in our hearts as we journey on without them.' 'Loss', she says, 'is forever, but maintaining a relationship...albeit a very changed relationship...with the deceased is a normal and therapeutic response to that loss.' Walking Backwards into Your Future is a powerful, helpful and imaginative text for anyone suffering grief or working with those experiencing 'loss'. It records and uses the experiences of several bereaved, 'for who better to tell us than those experiencing the pain.'
