Like A Grief Observed by C. S. Lewis, Singing Mother Home offers an inside look at the struggles of an \"\"expert\"\" in coping with loss. Donna S. Davenport was forced to rethink the traditional academic approach to the process, which implied that the goal of grief resolution was to end the attachment to the loved one. Instead, she embarked on a personal exploration of her own anticipatory grief. This intimate narrative forms the core of her book. It is emotionally wrenching, but it also provides hope for those going through similar experiences. Just as Davenport used her family's tradition of singing to comfort her mother, readers will be encouraged to find their own sources of comfort in family and legacy. The book concludes by describing psychological approaches to grief and recommending further reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a unique book by a professional who understands the field of loss and grief....Polgnantly heartbreaking. - Melba Vasquez, President, American Psychology Association's Division on Counseling Psychology","brand":"University of North Texas Press,U.S.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51535280963927,"sku":"9781574411621","price":21.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781574411621.jpg?v=1755860381","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/singing-mother-home-a-psychologists-journey-through-anticipatory-grief-9781574411621","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
