520 $aWhat do we do when a friend, relative, or loved
one dies? If we wish to understand the experience of loss,
we must learn details of survivors' stories. In How We
Grieve, Thomas Attig tells real-life tales to illustrate the
poignant disruption of life and suffering that loss entails.
He shows how through grieving we meet daunting challenges,
make critical choices, and reshape our lives. These intimate
treatments of coping hold valuable lessons that address the
needs of grieving people and those who hope to support and
comfort them. The accounts promote our understanding of
grief itself, encourage respect for individuality and the
uniqueness of loss experiences, show how to deal with
helplessness in the face of "choiceless" events, and offer
much priceless guidance for caregivers. Grieving is not a
process of passively living through stages. Nor is it a
clinical problem to be solved or managed by others. How We
Grieve shows that grieving is an active, coping process of
relearning how to be and act in a world where loss
transforms the fabric of our lives. Loss challenges us to
relearn things and places; relationships with others,
including fellow survivors, the deceased, and even God; and
most of all ourselves, including our daily life patterns and
the meanings of our own life stories.
