Product reviews for Independent Thinking on Loss

-‹In Independent Thinking on Loss, Ian Gilbert and his three children discuss the depth of suffering and sorrow they have experienced following the death of their mum. The main focus of this outstanding book is a reflection on the support or otherwise that they experienced in the aftermath of their loss, combined with a range of tips on what to do, and what not to do, when confronted with anyone who has experienced loss.

-‹Ian Gilbert offers an insightful analysis of bereavement as a process rather than an event, which is particularly helpful for those people coping with the sudden death of a loved one. The key factor is that we need to come to terms with the fact that the process of loss never ends but rather evolves with us.

-‹Reading this excellent little book will give parents, relatives, teachers, work colleagues and friends of those suffering loss an increased awareness of the skills and personal confidence to address bereavement as a topic that can be talked about and acknowledged, rather than something to shy away from or leave to someone else.
