Collective Ink In Unexpected Places – Death and dying – building
Book SynopsisAge-old African beliefs about a body that is not the physical body; an ancient Mesopotamian epic with a hidden message about life and death; old Tibetan and Chinese writings on the importance of nothingness; tales of those who have come back from a death-like experience after a heart attack or accident. These, along with what the major faiths tell us about an existence after death, are the focus of this book. The author's search in often unexpected places provides insights into the nature of consciousness after death, the structure of our being, the meaning of time and space and the inevitability of suffering as well as of goodness. Through this book we will be better equipped to come to terms with the deaths of those dear to us, and also with our own death.Trade Review"Brown presents a well written thought provoking text which is one of those books that can either be dipped into periodically or devoured in a day, depending how much time you have available.The style of writing asks the reader to question their stance more often than offering answers to the questions presented.Citing examples from different myths, for instance he explores the story of Gilgamesh as an analogy for the creation of the Soul or Self.Unexpected Places will appeal to those with a grounding in psychology and the function of myth and archetypes.The Author delves into facets of consciousness and attempts to explain how the various afterlife states can be used as reference points, or markers in waking life.Briefly dipping into the Qabalah and the Tao, Brown offers a well referenced and nicely balanced text offering his insight into sensitive subject matter.Through the lens of "building up a picture" the book is comparable to a literary initiation, or awakening experience via objective comparison. Rather than clinging to one ideology and professing it the only way, the author encourages the reader to open up and consider the deeper meaning behind inherent fears and anxieties on the subject of death and dying."

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Counselling in Terminal Care and Bereavement
Book SynopsisThe book covers both caring for the terminally ill and the 'actual' bereavement, thus providing guidance on the whole process of counselling patients and their families. Case studies include examples from cancer, AIDS, suicide , murder and fatal accidents. Problems counsellors may face in their work are discussed and a chapter is devoted to the needs of the counsellor themselves.Trade Review'All nurses will be familiar with many of the case histories with which the book is well illustrated, many which relate directly to the environment of the practice nurse ... Although the book focuses on the counselling needed by the patient and family at times of death and bereavement many of the principles discussed and the techniques which are used have an enormous value in other circumstances such as following attempted suicide, alcohol abuse, depression, aggression or chronic anxiety. It is in these areas that the book may be of even greater use to the practice nurse.' Practice Nurse. ' "Thoughtful and practical" is how the publisher describes this book by three authors who have made a massive contribution to the development of contemporary bereavement care. This is a fair assessment. This book is written in a straightforward language, with many case studies which provide practical illustrations of approaches, but it retains a sense of the complexity of human beings and attempts to set any presumptions offered within a framework of recognising diversity.' Progress in Palliative Care.Table of Contents1. Families in transition. 2. The caring team. 3. Counselling skills. 4. Counselling for life-threatening illness. 5. Counselling the family before bereavement. 6. Counselling the family after bereavement. 7. Problems in counselling.

Te vi marchar
Book SynopsisRobert Richardson, autor de las biografías magistrales de Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson y William James, nos relata en este libro las historias personales e interconectadas de estos tres autores que cambiaron para siempre la filosofía y la psicología contemporáneas. Pero de qué tipo de historias hablamos? La muerte de una esposa que no llegó a cumplir los veinte años, o de un hijo que apenas empezaba a ver el mundo, o de un hermano que ni siquiera alcanzaba la treintena... Fallecimientos extremadamente dolorosos y duelos terribles que la razón no quiere admitir...Y, sin embargo, lo importante de este texto no está ahí, en la mera aceptación, sino en la manera en que estos pensadores supieron leer, a raíz de estas pérdidas, el libro secreto de la naturaleza: pasando de ver el mundo como un cúmulo de individuos irremplazables a entenderlo como un tejido en el que el conjunto de los seres vivos somos hilos de una misma totalidad. Pero, además, los tres intuyeron e integraro

Random House Publishing Group Giving Up the Ghost
Book SynopsisAt once hilarious and incredibly moving, Giving Up the Ghost is a memoir of lost love and second chances, and a ghost story like no other. Eric Nuzum is afraid of the supernatural, and for good reason: As a high school oddball in Canton, Ohio, during the early 1980s, he became convinced that he was being haunted by the ghost of a little girl in a blue dress who lived in his parents’ attic. It began as a weird premonition during his dreams, something that his quickly diminishing circle of friends chalked up as a way to get attention. It ended with Eric in a mental ward, having apparently destroyed his life before it truly began. The only thing that kept him from the brink: his friendship with a girl named Laura, a classmate who was equal parts devoted friend and enigmatic crush. With the kind of strange connection you can only forge when you’re young, Laura walked Eric back to “normal”—only to become a ghost herself in a tragic tw

WW Norton & Co Vessels
Book SynopsisAn unforgettable portrait of a marriage tested to its limits.Trade Review"This is one of the wisest, saddest, most beautiful books about love that I’ve ever read." -- Tom Bissell"Daniel Raeburn gets right down to the essentials: life, death, love, loss. There’s not a spare syllable here, and the telegraphic style has the odd effect of amplifying these profound questions, allowing them to resonate fully. Vessels is a beautiful book about the sheer, mysterious contingency of anyone being born at all." -- Alison Bechdel"Vessels is a brilliant and dazzling story about love, marriage, and family. In a prose so transparent that you feel as if it’s your own experience, Daniel Raeburn has written a beautiful book about loss and redemption." -- Susan Cheever"Daniel Raeburn writes like a person who means it, every last word. Vessels is spare and elegant and smart and propulsive, but above all it feels unrelentingly truthful, alive with the close breath of the realest intimacy. Raeburn went to a very dark place and brought us back something beautiful and strangely consoling." -- Claire Dederer"One of the most beautifully sad and mesmerizing books of the year." -- Minnesota Public Radio, “Best Nonfiction of 2016”"More than offering a simple tale about grief and the struggles of parenthood, Raeburn speaks to the emotional influence of those we try to bring into the world and the lives we are responsible for." -- Booklist"A poignant expression of how two young people matured as they created a family . . . [and] also a celebration of the way that birth—even if that birth ends in sudden death—brings new life to parents. An eloquently candid memoir." -- Kirkus Reviews"Vessels should be in the company of memoirs such as Darkness Visible by William Styron, about depression. Both are books that speak to one issue, yet find the thread that connects us all." -- Tara Shafer - babycenter.com

Penguin Putnam Inc Finding the Words
Book SynopsisA powerful account of one father’s journey through unimaginable grief, offering readers a new vision for how to more actively and fully mourn profound loss. When Colin Campbell’s two teenage children were killed by a drunk driver, Campbell was thrown headlong into a grief so deep he felt he might lose his mind. He found much of the common wisdom about coping with loss—including the ideas that grieving is a private and mysterious process and that the pain is so great that “there are no words”—to be unhelpful. Drawing on what he learned from his own journey, Campbell offers an alternative path for processing pain that is active and vocal and truly honors loved ones lost. Full of practical advice on how to survive in the aftermath of loss, Finding the Words teaches readers how to actively reach out to their community, perform mourning rituals, and find ways to express their grief, so they c
