Living with an Empty Chair: A Guide Through Grief

by Roberta Temes

This sensitive explanation of ways to cope with death has been welcomed by clergy, psychologists, bereavement counselors, and those touched by sorrow.

In this expanded edition, Roberta Temes has enlarged both the subject matter and the supplementary material through which people can come to terms with the stages of grief. Among the problems upon which she focuses living alone, children and grief, restructuring families, and the effects of suicide on survivors. This new edition also contains an up-to-date listing of resources - films, cassettes, professional services, and literature - for those seeking help.

Reviews

[Carl Williams · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was recommended by a friend, and although it's a clear and supportive overview of what grief looks like to other people it was not particularly helpful to me personally. Perhaps because I've done some work with hospice and understanding grief. Perhaps because my own grief was not specifically touched on. Anyway.

I'd recommend this book for a friend or supporter of someone grieving as it offers some philosophical and practical approaches.
