After the Death of a Child : Living with loss through the years

NZ$ 49.99 each
Paperback
Author:
Ann K Finkbeiner
In Stock:
1
For a parent, losing a child is the most devastating event that can occur. Most books on the subject focus on grieving and recovery, but as most parents agree, there is no recovery from such a loss. This book examines the continued love parents feel for their child and the many poignant and ingenious ways they devise to preserve the bond. Through detailed profiles of parents, Ann Finkbeiner shows how new activities and changed relationships with their spouse, friends, and other children can all help parents preserve a bond with the lost child. Refusing to fall back on pop jargon about "recovery" or to offer easy suggestions or standardized timelines, Finkbeiner's is a genuine and moving search to come to terms with loss. Her complex profiles of parents resonate with the honesty and authenticity of uncomfortable emotions expressed and, most importantly, shared with others experiencing a similar loss. Finally, each profile exemplifies ...

A Good Day to Die: The Story of Palliative Care
order quantity
NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Lisa Birnie
In Stock:
1
We must determine to accept death as an ordinary part of life, something none of us will escape. We must determine to accept some suffering as an ordinary part of life. But we must also determine that extreme and prolonged pain has no place in a society that prides itself on its social and humanitarian standards.
In A Good Day to Die Lisa Birnie tells the stories of the dying, of their lovers, families and friends, and of the health professionals who care for all of them. In this wise and compassionate book she shows that how we die matters not only to ourselves but to those we leave behind. The attitudes and beliefs we bring to death are those we forge during our lives but, Birnie argues, we can only die well if we are free of physical and psychological pain. This remarkable book is about how palliative care can give us this freedom and love when we are at our most vulnerable.

Ed: Barbara Munroe & F Klaus

Recent years have seen increasing interest in the needs of children facing bereavement, and a corresponding increase in services to support them. This book addresses and explains the theoretical concepts and practical implications behind the idea of brief work with bereaved children and families.
Flexible and accessible short term services delivered at the right time underpin the strengths of bereaved children, supporting their recovery rather than pathologising the grief process. In this way the book also speaks to the current interest in the concept of resilience and working with families' strength and possibilities rather than merely identifying their problems. The topic of this book is unique in the field, and will appeal to practitioners, educators and service providers managing scarce resources.

Children and Grief : When a Parent Dies

NZ$ 59.99 each
Paperback
Author:
William J. Worden
In Stock:
1
Drawing upon extensive interviews and assessments of school-age children who have lost a parent to death, this book offers a portrait of the mourning process in children.
The volume presents major findings from the Harvard Child Bereavement Study and places them in the context of previous research, shedding new light on both the wide range of normal variation in children's experience of grief and the factors that put bereaved children at risk. The book also compares parentally bereaved children with those who have suffered loss of a sibling to death, or of a parent through divorce, exploring similarities and differences in these experiences of loss. A concluding section explores the clinical implications of the findings and includes a review of intervention models and activities, as well as a screening instrument designed to help identify high-risk bereaved children.

Continuing Bonds: New Understandings of Grief
order quantity
NZ$ 112.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Edited by Dennis Klass, Phyllis R. Silverman, Steven Nickman
In Stock:
1
This book gives voice to an emerging consensus among bereavement scholars that our understanding of the grief process needs to be expanded.
The dominant 20th century model holds that the function of grief and mourning is to cut bonds with the deceased, thereby freeing the survivor to reinvest in new relationships in the present. Pathological grief has been defined in terms of holding on to the deceased. Close examination reveals that this model is based more on the cultural values of modernity than on any substantial data of what people actually do.
Presenting data from several populations, 22 authors - among the most respected in their fields - demonstrate that the health resolution of grief enables one to maintain a continuing bond with the deceased. Despite cultural disapproval and lack of validation by professionals, survivors find places for the dead in their on-going lives and even in their communities. Such bonds are not ...

Dying : A memoir

Author:
Donald & Myfanwy Horne
In Stock:
1
A unique book on a subject matter still largely taboo in our culture. An unflinching staring down of death, Dying consists of three very distinct parts, the first being the journal Donald Horne kept during the last eight months of his life.
On learning that his illness was terminal, Donald Horne began dictating his experience of dying, and his resulting journal is full of courage, honesty, insight and humour. Ever the intellectual, he also recorded his last thoughts on some of the big human questions: faith and regret, the uses of art, the rewards of the engaged mind. And on contemporary dilemmas such as the Iraq War, anti-Americanism and the meaning of democracy. These essays have been refined by his wife and long-time editor, Myfanwy, who has also written her own inspirational account of Donald's final weeks. Far from being morbid, Dying is a book that sings with life. Donald Horne's memories of his well-lived years sit alongside ...
