Parents and Bereavement Zusammenfassung

Parents and Bereavement: A Personal and Professional Exploration Christine Young (Former Head of Family Support and Bereavement, Helen and Douglas House, UK)

Grief is a very individual experience and it can impact all aspects of a person's life. Parents and Bereavement: A Personal and Professional Exploration of Grief brings together latest research and practice from the pioneering children and young adults' hospice - Helen and Douglas House, alongside the personal experience of a parent. The book includes information on a range of challenges faced by parents, including supporting surviving children, making challenging decisions about subsequent pregnancies, managing the impact of grief on relationships, and facing birthdays and anniversaries. It discusses both, the theories and the day-to-day experience of grief, and what might make a difference to how people manage it. This will be an invaluable resource for professionals involved in supporting families with end of life care and bereavement issues, including palliative care professionals, counsellors, and social workers. Parents and Bereavement will also help parents, family, and friends to understand and support each other through such loss.

Parents and Bereavement Bewertungen

What happens when a parent loses a child? What do we understand and what can we do about it? This remarkable little book provides many of the answers. There are chapters on grief and secondary losses, the effects on other members of the family and surviving children, anniversaries and memories and, of course, funerals. What sets this book apart is the way it is written. The first half of each chapter is told in the first person by the grieving parent, Tracy Dowling, which I thought were both insightful and extremely well-written; she has a remarkable memory for detail. The second half of each chapter is written by a counsellor, Christine Young, who explains what we understand and what we can do from a professional perspective. Concentrating on one parents saga holds your attention and makes this book more focused, which can only heighten its value to anybody studying palliative care, particularly paediatric palliative care. * IAHPC Newsletter *
The book is proving to be a brilliant resource for parents and practitioners alike. Tracy's narratives - which are easy to read and hard to put down - are highly valued by parents. The family support workers use both Tracy's and Christine's material for developing 'themed workshops' and in group-work. The book is proving to be a very useful learning tool. * Helen and Douglas House, Feb 2013 *
