Grief works

Death affects us all. Yet it is still the last taboo in our society, and grief is profoundly misunderstood. Hosted by Julia Samuel – a grief psychotherapist with over twenty five years’ experience of working with the bereaved – we hear stories from those who have experienced great love and loss – and survived.

Grief encounters

Grief Encounters is a weekly podcast series that looks at an issue that affects us all and yet remains so difficult to talk about: grief. Hosts Venetia Quick and Sasha Hamrogue hope to open up the conversation around loss and create a modern platform for people to share their own experiences, and start an open dialogue around the subject of death and all that comes with it.

Griefcast

Griefcast is a podcast that examines the human experience of grief and death - but with comedians, so it’s cheerier than it sounds.

Facing Grief - Bereavement and the Young by Susan Walbank

"[Susan Wallbank] writes with great insight and compassion, yet deals with the sensitive and often complex aspects of grief in a direct style which makes this book very readable." Cruse Chronicle "A very clearly set-out compendium of wisdom on all aspects of dealing with a death of someone close ... Altogether a very useful tool ..." European Christian Bookstore Journal "All counsellors would greatly benefit from reading this handbook and having it available for reference ... Its practical advice goes far beyond the good publications which are available on 'what to do when someone dies'." Christian Herald

Through Grief - the bereavement journey by Elizabeth Collick

Elizabeth Collick, herself a widow, writes out of her own experience and that of many others to describe what happens, in the hope that it may bring strenght and support to those in grief. She writes of the yearning ache, the strange fears, the anger, guilt, frustration, loneliness and lostness which makes up bereavement. The book does not seek to soothe pain, but to help people 'come through' to life on the far side of grief. The book is also helpful to professional carer - nurses, ministers, doctors, social workers and others - and to reletives, friends, neighbours and colleages of someone suffering bereavement.

Grief works by Julia Samuel

Death is 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. 'Grief Works' is a compassionate guide that will inform and engage anyone who is grieving, from the 'expected' death of a parent to the sudden unexpected death of a small child, and provide clear advice for those seeking to comfort the bereaved.
