Grief Works
Author: Julia Samuel
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501181556
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
“An honest, practical, as well as emotional guide to working through the processing of mourning” (Vogue), Grief Works is a lifeline for all of us dealing with loss and a handbook to help others—from the “expected” death of a parent to the sudden and unexpected death of a child or spouse. Death affects us all. Yet it is still the last taboo in our society, and grief is still profoundly misunderstood. Julia Samuel, a grief psychotherapist, has spent twenty-five years working with the bereaved and understanding the full repercussions of loss. In Grief Works, Samuel shares case studies from those who have experienced great love and great loss—and survived. People need to understand that grief is a process that has to be worked through, and Samuel shows if we do the work, we can begin to heal. “As a guide for the newly grieving, Grief Works succeeds on many levels, and the author’s compassionate storytelling skills provide even broader appeal…and consistently hit an authentically inspiring note” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). “Illuminating” (The New York Times), intimate, warm, and helpful, Samuel is a caring and deeply experienced guide through the shadowy and mutable land of grief, and her book is as invaluable to those who are grieving as it is to those around them. She adroitly unpacks the psychological tangles of grief in a voice that is compassionate, grounded, real, and observant of those in mourning. Divided into case histories grouped by who has died—a partner, a parent, a sibling, a child, as well section dealing with terminal illness and suicide—Grief Works shows us how to live and learn from great loss. This important book is “essential for anyone who has ever experienced grief or wanted to comfort a bereaved friend” (Helen Fielding, author of Bridget Jones’s Diary).

Book Description
Time was running out for Shantilal. A choice had to be made between pursuing his passion that he had dreamt of all his life and being with his wife, Aaisha, the love of his life. It all started when he met Mishika, the only girl in his team. Until then, things were going well in his life. When there was no work at the office due to transition, and when two employees of the opposite sex started working together, the chemistry was bound to develop. Their boring office life was rejuvenated. As they spent more time together, somehow, the “lost love” in his life rekindled. She introduced him to the virtual world through a social networking platform. During these obsessive moments, while he was immersed in the virtual world, his first love was brought in front of his eyes. That girl who stole his heart in their first meeting was all over his imagination. While he was busy with Mishika, his obsession with the virtual world and his first love, the cloud of doubt had started hovering around Aaisha about his extramarital affairs. When he was at the pinnacle of success being awarded the Best Employee Award of his company, which he won only to fulfil his promise to his lovely wife, a shocking incident occurred like a bolt from the blue, and his life was shattered. He lost the ground when he found that his house was locked and Aaisha was nowhere to be seen. All his efforts to contact her went in vain. While stuck on the roof on a cold night, waiting for his wife and wondering if she had left, he reminisces about his glorious love life and contemplates on the series of incidents that led to this catastrophe. Did he cross the line, which Aisha had warned him of? Will she ever come back to his life? Will he fulfil his dream or sacrifice it for her? He was dejected, devastated and broken but alive hoping that This Too Shall Pass.

This Too Shall Last
Author: K.J. Ramsey
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310107261
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
This book is not a before-and-after story. Our culture treats suffering like a problem to fix, a blight to hide, or the sad start of a transformation story. We silently, secretly wither under the pressure of living as though suffering is a predicament we can avoid or annihilate by working hard enough or having enough faith. When your prayers for healing haven't been answered, the fog of depression isn't lifting, your marriage is ending in divorce, or grief won't go away, it's easy to feel you've failed God and, worse, he's failed you. If God loves us, why does he allow us to hurt? Over a decade ago chronic illness plunged therapist and writer K.J. Ramsey straight into this paradox. Before her illness, faith made sense. But when pain came and never left, K.J. had to find a way across the widening canyon that seemed to separate God's goodness from her excruciating circumstances. She wanted to conquer suffering. Instead, she encountered the God who chose it. She wanted to make pain past-tense. Instead, God invited her into a bigger story. This Too Shall Last offers an antidote to our cultural idolatry of effort and ease. Through personal story and insights from neuroscience and theology, Ramsey invites us to let our tears become lenses of the wonder that before God ever rescues us, he stands in solidarity with us. We are all mid-story in circumstances we did not choose, wondering when our hard things will end and where grace will come if they don’t. We don't need to make suffering a before-and-after story. Together we can encounter the grace that enters the middle of our stories, where living with suffering that lingers means receiving God's presence that lasts.
