On grief : voices through the ages on how to manage death and loss
Conradi, Peter J., 1945-2022
Books
How do you 'prepare' for bereavement? Religious faith can help, as can ritualised codes of dress and behaviour that recognise different stages of mourning. But many of us feel singularly unprepared when we lose someone. No one 'theory' can sooth the bereaved, precisely because grief so strips us naked and profoundly wounds us. Nothing pre-cooked helps. No quick fix, no one-shot deal.In this inspirational book, Peter J. Conradi draws on literature, history and philosophy to present a broad array of different voices and perspectives on grief.
