Christine A. Adams
- The
- ABC's
- of
- Grief:
- A
- Handbook
- for
- Survivors
- meets
- bereaved
- persons
- wherever
- they
- might
- be
- in
- the
- grieving
- process,
- providing
- snatches
- of
- meaning,
- hope,
- empathy,
- and
- understanding.
- This
- handbook
- is
- a
- product
- of
- the
- author's
- own
- grief
- experience.
- Confronting
- her
- loss,
- Christine
- Adams
- found
- that
- it
- was
- all
- right
- to
- grieve
- at
- her
- own
- pace:
- one
- day
- at
- a
- time,
- one
- thought,
- word,
- and
- letter
- at
- a
- time.
- The
- handbook's
- alphabetical
- format
- allows
- readers,
- or
- group
- leaders,
- to
- focus
- on
- any
- aspect
- of
- grief
- that
- suits
- them.
- If
- a
- reader
- becomes
- absorbed
- in
- "anger"
- or
- "anxiety,"
- he
- or
- she
- can
- go
- back
- to
- reread
- those
- parts
- of
- the
- handbook
- and
- with
- each
- visit
- will
- find
- some
- new
- realization
- and
- meaning.
- Every
- section
- contains
- appropriate
- quotations,
- stories,
- and
- poems,
- written
- by
- survivors
- who
- found
- solace
- in
- writing.The
- information
- is
- useful
- at
- a
- time
- of
- grief,
- the
- encouragement
- by
- the
- author
- is
- soothing,
- and
- the
- poems
- and
- stories
- remind
- the
- reader
- that
- others
- have
- visited
- the
- same
- places
- in
- their
- grief process.
