Book Description
Mourning the death of a loved one is a process all of us will go through at one time or another. But wherever the death is sudden or anticipated, few of us are prepared for it or for the grief it brings. There is no right or wrong way to grieve; each person's response to loss will be different. Now, in this compassionate, comprehensive guide, Therese A. Rando, Ph.D., bereavement specialist and author of Loss And Anticipatory Grief, leads you gently through the painful but necessary process of grieving and helps you find the best way for yourself.
Whether the death was sudden of expected, from accident, illness, suicide, homicide, or natural causes, Dr. Rando will help you learn to:
Understand and resolve your grief.
Talk to children about death.
Resolve unfinished business.
Take care of yourself.
Accept the help and support of others.
Get through holidays and other difficult times of the year.
Plan funerals and personal bereavement rituals.
How To Go On Living With Someone You Love Dies also includes a comprehensive resource listing and a chapter on finding professional help and support groups.
There is no way around the pain of loss, but there is a way through it. Dr. Rando offers the solace, comfort, and guidance to help you accept your loss and move into your new life without forgetting your treasured past.

How To Go On Living When Someone You Love Dies.......2007-05-14
My favorite choice of books on dealing with the death of a loved one. Educates you on things to expect from grief, suggestions to make it through, and then ways to reinvest in life without your loved one.
Understand your grief........2006-11-10
After learning of this book through the Boulder,CO hospice organization, I have recommended it to three close friends. They all gave it in turn to other family members. Explanations of the grief process reassure the reader that they need not worry if they do not 'grieve' in the same way
others do. Much wisdom to be found here.
How to go on living when someone you love dies.......2006-03-11
This is very easy to read and very practical. The author has great insight into grief and gives much knowledge for men and women going through grief. The book not only deals with all phases of grief, but also looks at secondary losses as well.
I would highly recommed this book to anyone going through grief no matter how fresh the loss or the type of loss incurred.
How to Go On Living When Someone You Love Dies.......2005-09-22
I found the book to be very helpful to me in coping with the sudden loss of my Father. It helped me to confirm that I was not losing my mind.
How to go on Living when someone dies.......2005-09-15
Fresh in my grief, I found this a hard book to read. It has a lot of text book information and probably is very helpful later in grief. But, it reads like a text book and I found it hard to process when my grief was so fresh.
Book Description
When Love Dies is a refreshing, honest look at one woman's journey to the edge of divorce, her commitment to stay even though she didn't feel like it, and eventual rediscovery of the love that she thought died.

Read this before you file for a divorce.......2007-10-04
As an author of a divorce book, it might seem strange that I am recommending a book on how to save your marriage. But I firmly believe that a couple should do everything they can to try and save their marriage, if possible, barring any physical or mental abuse. Read this book before you file for divorce, if after reading it you still see divorce as your only option, at least you will know that you did everything in your power to save your marriage before getting a divorce.

Seven Secrets to a Successful Divorce
When Love Dies How to Save a Hopeless Marriage.......2007-09-06
I read the book and it's a good book, but the book did not save my marriage. My husband wants a divorce.
Makes you think, but hasn't totally changed my life.......2007-07-27
I bought this book because I was really struggling with my marriage, contemplating divorce, yes even as a Christian. I married someone 25 years older then me and I was 18 at the time. The generation difference affects soo many areas in our life and it was just too much for me. Anyhow I ordered this book when I was on my last string and it is very helpful. I highlighted so many things in this book and she is very direct and gives you very hard instructions. Maybe I need to reach that point of being changed but I was expecting this book to totally transform my life, but only God can do that. It is a great book and It gives great Biblical advice. I'd recommend it. I just need to be "transformed" ( those are my words, not anyone elses ) and then the advice in the book will be more useful. Get this book, it really could save your marriage.
Not captivating.......2007-06-13
I got the feel of "just suck it up and make it work" out of this book. That isn't what I was looking for. Do not waste your time on this book in less you are in need of a guilt trip.
If you are looking for a fabulous book, check out Conscious Divorce (I think by Susan Allison). It was incredibly helpful. I went to 3 councelors, church, joined community groups, and read & listened to every book I could get my hands on. The Conscious Divorce really helped me work through my dissions & problem.s
I wish you peace & happiness!
This book saved my marriage!.......2007-02-04
I seriously credit this book as the beginning step in saving my marriage. I read it with an open mind and it gave me a whole new perspective on my relationship. It gave me insight into myself and the way I viewed my marriage. It gave me hope and taught me to find a new respect for my husband. I believe this book can be the first step to a happier, healthier marriage -- I recommend it to anyone contemplating divorce or feeling like he/she is in a loveless marriage. (The book does reference God but it is not a religious, preachy type of book.)

New emotions, new friends, and physical changes make the teen years hard enough to deal with, but when someone close dies, life as a teen can seem almost unbearable. I Will Remember You encourages young readers to explore the "long, winding tunnel" of the grieving process, to keep going in the face of terrible loss and sadness. Through stirring words by well-known personalities (E.B. White, Emily Dickinson, Rainer Maria Rilke, Dr. Seuss, Mother Teresa, Woody Allen, even Pooh and Piglet!), as well as from fellow teens who have lost a loved one, grieving teens can begin to take comfort that they're not alone.
Each chapter helps readers explore different aspects of grief, such as denial, ritual, remembering, mourning a stranger, and anniversary "aftershocks." Renowned grief counselor Elena Lister, M.D., offers advice based on her many years of professional experience, and author Laura Dower presents dozens of creative, helpful exercises to move through the experience of loss. As Dower writes in her preface, this book does not provide "the 'right' answers or tell you how or what to feel." Instead, it's more like a "grief map. It helps you to see the path, but it can't tell you where to go." One of the most useful (and impressive) elements of the book is the very sensitive section on what not to say to someone who is grieving (and possible responses to these statements): "You'll get over it. Do you want to tell me when?" "Your mother/father lived a full life. How do you define full?" Of course, Dower also includes a list of more thoughtful, appropriate statements: "I am sorry. How can I help?" "What was your relationship like?" With the gentle help of this guidebook, grieving teens may just make it a little farther through that long, winding tunnel. (Ages 13 and older) --Emilie Coulter
Book Description
Just as death is a part of life, grieving is a part of living. For teens, this can be a particularly painful lesson to learn. I WILL REMEMBER YOU is an inspirational and accessible guide to coping with loss. It includes personal stories of death and life from real teens, advice from a renowned grief counselor, and dozens of hands-on creative exercises to help teens move through their pain and sorrow . . . into tomorrow.
Customer Reviews:
An amazing book.......2004-02-16
I was 14 years old when my father passed away suddenly. My mom bought me this book about a month after he passed away. It helped me so much. It guided me through much of the first year or so. It was by my side when I went through the first easter, his birthday and my parents anniversary without him. I don't know what I would have done without this book. I would highly recommend this to any teen who has lost someone close to them. Or to any adult wanted to understand what teens go through after losing someone close.
An Inspiring, Important and Beautifully-Done Book.......2001-07-19
I Will Remember You addresses one of the most-overlooked and difficult issues in growing up, offering readers inspiring and important ideas to deal with grief. Although this is a guidebook for teens, as a parent, I found the information incredibly helpful in helping my children understand the grieving process. Dower's accesssible, well-written passages--along with the real-life writing from teens--illuminates the feelings associated with getting through grieving. This is a terrific resource for parents, teachers, librarians and yes, teenagers.
As if it spoke to me.......2001-06-07
My father died three years ago when I was thirteen. I have never read a book that depicts my feelings so accurately. It is ideal for any teen that is overcoming grief but also for any parent who wishes to understand the grief that their teenager is dealing with.
Coming from a contributor.......2001-05-04
I was a contributor to this book and had known about this project a couple years ago when I wrote my piece. I wasn't sure what I was getting into. I thought it was probably just another Chicken Soup like book. However, I was wrong. This book is the most amazing thing I've seen for teens who are suffering with grief and at the time I was going through everything I would have given my soul for a book like this. I am really proud to have been a part of this project and I found it helpful even today. I hope a lot of grief stricken teens pick this book up. It is truly amazing.
Book Description
This straightforward book helps adults talk to children in meaningful ways, nurturing their faith and building their emotional strength during a time of crisis. The author explains common reactions (emotional, physical, and behavioral) parents can expect from children of all ages, and offers adults the spiritual tools they need to help children cope with a significant loss.
Customer Reviews:
Yes, I recommend this book!.......2004-08-05
Often times children don't get their questions answered because the grown ups are trying to deal with their own loss and business and arrangements that must be taken care of.
It is helpful to know what to say and how to explain things to children.
This book helps parents find the words they will need. I also recommend a faith based video for the children, After the Tears, A Gentle Guide to Help Children Understand Death.
Grandparents can talk about death and grief........2000-03-10
When the topic of death comes into the conversation with children, it is very helpful to have thought about what I want to say beforehand. This book gave me the opportunity to be more prepared to answer my grandchildrens' questions about death in a relaxed and confident manner.
an outstanding resource for parents and professionals alike.......1999-02-07
The author assists the reader in gaining a sensitive perspective as to how children experience grief at different developmental levels. Practical examples and down-to-earth suggestions are made to facilitate the grief process for children.
an excellent resource for families and professionals!.......1998-03-30
A very sound set of guidelines to refer to when a child has lost a loved one through death. Written at a level that is easy to understand and still covers the topic in adequate depth for any professional. Recommended reading!

Really Understands.......2007-07-07
Of all the books I have read on this topic, this one is by far THE BEST.
This author really gets it. The author understands the emotions that the
one left behind goes through. He further gives excellent suggestions on
how you can best deal with those emotions.
I'm still crying, but at least I know it's OK.......2006-08-17
I think that this is the first book that I have read, that is truly meant for the person that's grieving. My husband has recently passed away from aggressive brain tumor, after two and a half years of fighting. We both were only 26, and not even three years married, when all of a sudden I was alone. I still don't understand why he died; I'm still angry and confused. But reading this book, helped me realized that I have a right to feel that way. That there should be no expectations from me, as to how am I grieving. The author goes on explaining in detail how the loss of a loved one, will emerge to be an individual journey. No two are the same. You should listen to your body and let yourself feel the pain, let yourself grieve...for as long as your body, mind and heart need it.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, who has lost a loved one. It would be a great book for those that know somebody, that's grieving and want to learn of the best way to help them with their process. - many very valuable lessons to learn.
I finally stopped Crying.......2001-12-21
I found this book when my lifepartner died two years ago. THis book helped me so much then and now, when certian days come along and I start feeling sad and don't understand. I am in a new relationship and still sometimes find myself missing my former life-partner and I realize through this book that it is entirely normal and to some degree expected.
I recommend this book to anyone who has lost someone they love. It will help you get a handle on your emotions and is very easy to read.
What is the "Love"? What is the "Alive#? -It's on this book........1998-12-03
Firstly,I found this title is in the The Journal of Emergency Medical Services of Japan. This book has introduced with activity of the Metro Toronro Ambulance.This story has told about how to reduce Paramedician's stress and how to inform the "Lover's death" to the family or relatives.I really had caught warm heart from this story this is because The Metro Toront Paramedician has present this book to the person who lost the lover.And,this book provides how to accept one's saddness and how to go ahead one's life.I think,from this book is able to learn what is the realy love and what is alive. I reccomend this book ,especially medician,paramedician,emagency case cordinator, government officer,student and,simply for all.
Book Description
When Love Dies is based on two rich sources of information gathered by the author. Karen Kayser first analyzes in-depth and revealing interviews with 49 spouses who recount their feelings, thoughts, and actions as they fell out of love with their partners. Chapters trace the slow dissolution of love and its impact on a marriage, from the onset of marital disaffection to its final stages. Kayser then incorporates data from a random sample survey, comparing troubled spouses with non-disaffected spouses and exploring the relationships among marital disaffection, psychological well-being, commitment, attribution, and gender. The book examines the concept of matrimony from broad theories of marriage as a social institution to the most specific nuances of spousal interaction. Kayser shows that by studying the dynamics that produce disaffection, partners are able to focus on ways to better understand what is needed to maintain love in marriage. Identifying the phases of disaffection, including significant turning points, can alert spouses and clinicians that it is time to confront problems of alienation. Clinical recommendations for repairing marriages are offered for each phase of the disaffection process. The book also provides a scale of marital disaffection that is of practical use to clinicians and researchers.
Customer Reviews:
A wonderful book - knowing there are millions who feel just.......1999-01-11
A good book. Period. Whether you are divorced or not. Maybe everyone should read it BEFORE they get married. It's always been encouraging to me to realize there are at least a million other people out there, who have the same thoughts and feelings! It should be required reading for every marriage counselor!
Customer Reviews:
This is THE Book on Grief.......2006-02-05
Unlike many self-help books, this book is filled with clear, logical and well-organized practical advice. I struggled to understand a range of unexpected emotions when I lost a parent, until I read this book. I was amazed to find that the author anticipated my thoughts, questions and feelings as though she had looked inside my head. It helped to know that many others had the same experience, and the author obviously had successfully guided her patients through the process. As a lawyer, being able turn emotional feelings into logical thoughts that could be analyzed and understood brought immediate relief. The author knows her material and her advice works. Moreover, I was impressed that the book is not a "feel good" work filled with emotional stories. Every page is concise practical advice and well written.
This book should be required reading for everyone who works with the grieving. The book would also make a good gift for a friend who is grieving.
The encyclopedia of knowledge about grief--a gold standard!.......1998-06-09
This is an excellent book for ministers, counselors, or others that are helping people through the grieving process. It is also an excellent book for the person who is mourning (if they can concentrate enough to read a detailed text). I found this book to be a real life saver when I was grieving the loss of my mother. Also, it has been immeasurably helpful in my work with grieving people. This text covers a wide variety of losses and does an excellent job of explaining grief in general.
If you can only have ONE BOOK ON GRIEF--this is the one to have. My copy is irreplacable.

A breath of fresh air.......2000-01-02
When my husband died, I spent a lot of time reading hundreds, perhaps thousands, of pages of "how to" books to help me through the predictably wretched time that followed.
I found more useful comfort in this book through the amazing words of these other people who had suffered a similar loss. While the "how to" books serve a useful purpose, they did not reach me or comfort me -- my emotional self -- nearly as much as reading about the reactions and emotions of those who contributed to the book.
I now give these stories of love, loss, and healing to people when I learn of that they have suffered a similar event. I also recommend it to siblings and friends of such people when the discussion turns to an imminent, or recent death.
Great job!
