4.0 out of 5 stars Simple Language for a Most Difficult Time, 18 Dec 2002
This review is from: Bereavement: Your Questions Answered (Element Guides) (Paperback)
Although it is one of the few guaranteed events within our lives, there is little we do or indeed can do to prepare for the death of those closest to us. For 6 years I have been involved in the counselling and support of the bereaved, primarily within the military community. I have attended courses and immersed myself in some quite hefty and theoretic books. However, I always return to my dog-eared copy of this book. Why? Because it is the one book I would lend to clients who are in need of greater insight to bereavement and a degree of normalising of their feelings and behaviours. It is a book to dip in and out of without fear of being lost in theoretical depths that do little to help the bereaved. It has proved an invaluable tool to me and my clients - invest just a few pounds and gain so very much more.

1.0 out of 5 stars Less than helpful for those dealing with loss, 20 Jul 2008
By G. Fielder (WINDSOR, Berkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bereavement: Your Questions Answered (Vega Guides) (Paperback)
This book has such a strong extreme Christian / spiritual bias that it is unlikely to be helpful to the vast majority of those dealing with the consequences of loss through death. Markham's distorted thinking includes a belief that grief is only really valid if you believe in an afterlife, that spirits hang around for about a week to check those left behind are coping, those that have died continue to love those left behind and that love can be experienced...as so it goes on.

She relies on the supernatural to avoid dealing with many aspects of grief through the denial of the finality of death - coping with bereavement through the belief that the dead have not really died. They are somewhere else waiting until the dead and living are reunited. Useless rubbish to all but a few few of the deluded or ignorant.

If you really want help with your grief or to help others try 'Through Grief' by Elizabeth Collick which is quick read or to understand the process of grief try 'Grief Counselling and Grief Therapy' by J William Worden.

Only buy this book if you want an example of a really bad self help book that not only does not help but perhaps could even cause harm.
