Bereavement After Traumatic Death

Zusatztext

Unless forced by circumstances, people in modern societies go to great lengths to
 deny death, to the extent that even death of a loved one from natural causes tends
 to catch us unprepared and unable to cope with its consequences. Death as the
 result of a sudden, catastrophic event (traffic accident, suicide, a natural disaster,
 ect.) can have even more extreme effects, sometimes striking survivors so violently
 and painfully that it leaves an indelible mark.
 This book speaks about the consequences of such traumatic deaths in a wonderfully
 simple and straightforward way. The authors describe, step by step, what happens
 to people after the sudden death of a family member or close friend, the difficulties
 they face in coping, and how professionals and volunteers can help. With their
 wide experience, both personally and as internationally renowned authorities, they
 have written a book for professionals and volunteers who deal with bereavement
 in language that is accessible to all, so it will also help those who have suffered
 a traumatic loss themselves to understand what to expect and how to get help.
