Written by a clinical psychologist specializing in grief trauma, this empathetic guide provides advice for family and friends supporting someone after the death of a loved one.
Watching a friend or family member experience a life-changing loss can be heartbreaking. And often we don't know how best to help.
In this empathetic and highly practical book, clinical psychologist Dr Emma Cotterill includes her lived experience and that of others to provide readers with a valuable blend of both real-life and clinical advice.
Dr Cotterill first helps you understand what grief can look like and the psychology that underpins the human experience of loss. She then helps you navigate how best to help: from providing emotional and practical support, to knowing what to say and what not to say. Dr Cotterill also recognizes the emotional toll that accompanies supporting someone through their grief, and gives strategies to ensure you look after yourself.
