Описание: Grief is a natural response to loss. It's the emotional suffering you feel when something or someone you love is taken away. Often, the pain of loss can feel overwhelming. You may experience all kinds of difficult and unexpected emotions, from shock or anger to disbelief, guilt, and profound sadness. The pain of grief can also disrupt your physical health, making it difficult to sleep, eat, or even think straight. These are normal reactions to loss-and the more significant the loss, the more intense your grief will be.
Coping with the loss of someone or something you love is one of life's biggest challenges. You may associate grieving with the death of a loved one-which is often the cause of the most intense type of grief-but any loss can cause grief

This book has been motivated and inspired by a lifetime relationship with death and the awareness that our contemporary understanding of dying, which lacks a multivalent language, is inadequate.
