Bereavement and Grief

Everyone will experience a bereavement at some point, yet the death of a loved one is always a shock, even after a long illness. This book takes a sensitive look at the issues surrounding grief and loss, covering the feelings experienced after a bereavement, healthy and unhealthy ways to grieve, young people and mourning, funerals and memorials and practical matters which need to be dealt with following a death. The information comes from a wide range of sources and includes government reports and statistics, newspaper reports, features, magazine articles and surveys, literature from lobby groups and charitable organisations.
