Publisher Description
Someone you love has died. You are still here. How do you live with the space they have left?
Still Missing You offers a gentle, easy-to-read exploration of grief, keeping the person you miss at the centre. There is no compulsory timetable, no single right way to mourn, and no demand to stop loving someone because they have died.
Drawing on personal loss and years of cross-cultural health work in Thailand and along the Myanmar border, Stuart Corlett explores the everyday realities of bereavement: loneliness, sleep, practical responsibilities, guilt, family relationships and special days. He considers belief and hope, how children grieve, and how to support someone whose loss may be difficult to understand.
Short chapters and plain language make room for reflection without requiring you to take in everything at once. The book also explores how laughter and pleasure can return alongside grief, and how love can remain part of a life that changes.
An accompanying workbook provides discussion questions and personal reflections for individuals, support groups, churches, clubs and small home gatherings.
Adapted from Corlett’s longer academic book, Bereavement, this is the first of three linked easy-read books about loss, mortality and caring for others.
A little room to remember, to rest, to ask for help—and, when you are ready, to enjoy life again.
