Good Grief

Quite naturally we grieve over the loss of anything important. Sometimes, if the loss is great, the very foundations of our life are shaken, and we are thrown into deep despair. What ought we to know about the “grief process” so that we can better cope with it?

Revised edition of a booklet first published in the United States in 1962, outlining the 10 stages of grief, from shock to readjustment, using Christian teaching to distinguish between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ grief and to assess its different causes.

Good Grief offers valuable insights on the emotional and physical responses persons may experience during the natural process of grieving. Reflection questions help readers explore their own experience with each stage. Whether mourning the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage, the loss of a job, or other difficult life changes, Good Grief is a proven steady companion in times of loss.
