TRYING TO HELP A LOVED ONE COPE WITH GRIEF, BUT JUST DON\'T KNOW

our Unique, Practical Guide For The friends And Families Of The
Bereaved Tells You _exactly_ How To Help Without Getting In The Way
"An exemplary work on a difficult subject" - renowned author Nigella
Lawson
IT IS AWFUL WHEN SOMEONE YOU LOVE GOES THROUGH THE UNBEARABLE PAIN
OF BEREAVEMENT. As you are discovering, you feel distraught and
completely unable to help. You can't take away the grief, but THERE
_ARE_ MANY THINGS YOU CAN DO TO MAKE EVERYDAY LIFE MORE BEARABLE FOR
THEM. And no-one knows better what those things might be than people
who have been bereaved themselves...
This book explains how it feels, and also passes on THE ADVICE OF
MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN BEREAVED. These people KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT HELPED THEM MOST (AND WHAT WAS WELL-MEANT BUT _NOT_ HELPFUL) AT
THE TIME, and in the months, weeks and years afterwards.
THERE\'S NO NEED TO FEEL SO HELPLESS IN THE FACE OF GRIEF. This book
is FULL OF LITTLE WAYS - AS WELL AS BIG WAYS - you can help someone
you care about cope that little bit better. _You really CAN make a
difference; why not let this inspiring, creative and practical book
show you how?_
IF THERE\'S ANYTHING I CAN DO...
PRACTICAL, INSPIRING WAYS TO HELP SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN BEREAVED
When you are traveling the LONG, LONELY ROAD OF GRIEF, there are
times when people simply DON\'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY OR DO and when even
the closest of friendships are STRAINING AT THE SEAMS; when you walk
back into work and a SILENCE FALLS across the office as people look
down at their desks, unaware of how to treat you; when mothers from
your childrens' nursery dodge into another aisle in the supermarket to
AVOID HAVING TO FACE YOU; when you realize that FRIENDS HAVE STOPPED
CALLING or visiting because listening to your unending pain is just
becoming too much.
The GRIEF OF A FRIEND can be a terrible thing to witness. There is
nothing you can do to stem the tide, and yet, YOU REALLY DO WANT TO
HELP. And YOU _CAN_ HELP. You _CAN_ EASE THE PAIN. You can never bring
back the person who has died, which is all your friend really wants.
But there are DOZENS OF THINGS YOU _CAN_ DO to lighten the load he or
she has to carry. And you can KEEP ON DOING IT, without getting in the
way, not just for a few weeks but for months and even years if you
wish.
This brave, compassionate ebook is an invaluable resource for the
friends and family of the bereaved. Let us SHOW YOU WHAT TO DO AND SAY
TO _REALLY_ MAKE A DIFFERENCE...
"An invaluable resource for both the bereaved and their friends and
family, this compassionate, brave piece of work covers everything from
the practical issues (flowers, letters, what to say)
to the intangibles (moral support, mental health) to taking those
first steps to moving on."
DAILY RECORD [1]
"I wanted to let you know how grateful I am to you for publishing
this amazing book. A close
friend and neighbor died suddenly this summer leaving a heavily
pregnant widow and two small children. The insights of the author and
her contributors into bereavement and the advice about
what to do and how to help have been so helpful. It has given me the
confidence to just do things and offer assistance that otherwise I
would have worried about offering." CUSTOMER COMMENT

"Both touching and practical." YOU MAGAZINE, MAIL ON SUNDAY [3]
"Just wanted to let you know that I ordered a copy of If There's
Anything I Can Do…
and I think it is wonderful. My husband died in 2004 and I wish I had
had it then. I
want to lend it to the whole world and am wondering whether I should
buy a second
copy in case I don't get it back. Great to read something without
reference to the
supernatural - except a plea not to invoke it." CUSTOMER COMMENT
"Reassuring suggestions for helping out without getting in the way,
from a writer
whose partner died, leaving her with two young children." CAROLINE
SANDERSON

LOVED ONE, SAYING WHAT HELPED THEM MOST (AND WHAT WAS PROBABLY
WELL-MEANT BUT _NOT_ HELPFUL) AT THE TIME AND IN THE MONTHS, WEEKS AND
YEARS AFTERWARDS.

THE PRINCIPLES ARE EQUALLY APPROPRIATE TO SOMEONE GRIEVING THE LOSS OF
A CHILD, SIBLING, FRIEND, PARENT OR OTHER RELATIVE.

and parcel of friendship, but can still MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE to
someone who is grieving. _They will appreciate your efforts more than
you could ever guess._

PLUS WE\'VE ARRANGED FREE EXTRACTS FROM THE CLASSIC
A GRIEF OBSERVED BY C.S. LEWIS (COVER PRICE $10.95)
A Grief Observed, first published in 1961, is a highly thoughtful
and intimate collection of C.S. Lewis' reflections on the experience
of bereavement, after his wife, Joy Gresham, had died from bone
cancer.
He wrote it partly as a way of surviving the 'mad midnight moment.'
Lewis was keen to avoid identification as the author, so he
originally published the book under the pseudonym of N.W. Clerk,
referring to his wife throughout as "H" (her first name being Helen).
The book consists of the contents of four manuscript books (or
notebooks) in which Lewis expounds on his grief, from the everyday
difficulties of his life without Joy to deep-set questions of faith.
The indefinite article in the title serves to make it clear that
Lewis' is not the quintessential grief experience at the loss of a
loved one, but one individual perspective among countless others. It
is a slim volume and a comforting, quick read; definitely a book to
keep on the shelf always.
