Death & Grief, Health, Fitness & Dieting 

When grief hits, we hurt. What can we do about the pain of grief? Beth Hewett explains that grief and mourning are not the same thing: grief is passive (it happens to us) and mourning is active (we do something with it). More Good Words: A Practical Guide for Mourning teaches that grief encompasses a broad spectrum of emotions as a reaction to a loss like death. Mourning occurs with wide range of actions that we can take to work with that grief. Viewing grief as a journey rather than as an obstacle, this book uses five realms of experience (emotional, spiritual, physical, cognitive, and social) to provide concrete mourning activities to address grief. These activities are ones that readers can do as written or adapt to fit their own unique circumstances and grief. The book ends with a discussion of practical ways to connect with our dying family and friends, as well as specific actions we can take to help our families mourn when we eventually die. More Good Words looks honestly at grief and mourning and offers hope for walking that necessary journey. - from Amzon
