An instant bestseller in the UK, Grief Works is a profoundly optimistic and compassionate handbook for anyone suffering a loss—from the expected death of a parent to the sudden death of a child or spouse—as well as a guide for those who want to help their grieving loved ones.
Death affects us all. Yet it is still the last taboo in our society, and grief is still profoundly misunderstood. So many of us feel awkward and uncertain around death, and shy away from talking honestly with family and friends. 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. The stories here explain how grief unmasks our greatest fears, strips away our layers of protection, and reveals our innermost selves.
Intimate, clear, warm, and helpful, Grief Works addresses the fear that surrounds death and grief and replaces it with confidence. 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.

评分 评分我出生于一个普通家庭,和大多数的中国家庭一样,我的长辈对于某样东西是非常忌讳的,忌讳到连谈起那个词都是要马上顾左右而言他,如果我再不懂事地进行询问或者重复,那迎接我的就是少有的斥责。 似乎不去谈论它就可以看不见它。 它,就是,死亡。 因此关于死亡的概念我是缺失...
评分首先看到译者的介绍之后就惊了一下…不如所料,翻译不是很好。有几处莫名其妙,还有很多地方都是生硬的直译。虽然是纪实非虚构,但我认为文学的味道还是不能丢。 英文书名叫《GRIEF WORKS》,在我看来它有双关的意义:一是作者在做的这份工作是有关如何面对“悲伤”的;二是“...
评分死亡是最大的禁忌,死亡带来的悲伤也被深深误解。我们可以轻松地谈论性或失败,或者展示我们心灵深处的脆弱,但是谈到死亡,我们总是沉默。死亡如此令人恐惧,甚至陌生,我们很多人根本无法找到合适的语言去表达它。这样的沉默导致了一种无知,让我们得以避免对他人和自己的悲...
