Grief: The Great Yearning
"Grief: The Great Yearning" is not a how-to but a how-done, a compilation of letters, blog posts, and journal entries Pat Bertram wrote while struggling to survive her first year of grief. This is an exquisite book, wrenching to read, and at the same time full of profound truths. ""Grief: The Great Yearning" by Pat Bertram is a book of empathic understanding. How many recently bereft have looked to society's guidelines for grieving and found these "norms" did not correspond to what they were feeling? How many were left confused and even more depressed because they were not "progressing" like the experts said they should? Bertram's book is a comfort to those of us tossed into the grief whirlw...

Grief: The Inside Story - A Guide to Surviving the Loss of a Loved One
Coping with the death of a loved one can be the most traumatic and stressful situation most people ever deal with - and the practical and emotional help available to the bereaved is often very poor. As the bereaved struggle to make sense of their new situation they often find that the advice they receive is produced by medical professionals who have never personally experienced grief; and filled with platitudes and clichés, with very little practical help. How long does grief last? What can I do to help myself? Are there really five stages of grief? Why can't other people understand how I feel? Will I ever be happy again? Pat Bertram debunks many established beliefs about what grief is, how it affects those left behind, and how to adjust to a world that no longer contains your loved one.
Change Is in the Wind
The assignment was simple: submit a short story dealing with change. The results were astonishing, engaging, and incredibly varied. The stories complied in this volume range from taut action drama, to stealthy intrigue, to entralling spirituality, to tangled relationships, to timeless love renewed -- or lost, to angelic second chances. No two of the tales are remotely similar, and yet they are linked in remarkable ways. Each story is tied to all the others in the anthology with two exquisite threads. The first constant theme is redemption; in each case there is a transformation, often painful, that brings new beginnings, new possibilities and revitalized life. The second theme is love -- timeless and true -- expressed in a multitude of ways, but unfailing in bringing hope and newness. Change in the Wind is an extraordinary colletion of marvelous stories from gifted, eclectic writers who draw us into their worlds and leave us wanting more. -- publisher
