Surviving And Thriving: Grief Relief And Continuing Relationships

My wonderful son, Scott, has died. I cannot imagine that he is gone forever and I will never see him, hear his voice, or feel his presence again. I cannot live my life like this. Please help me! Statements like these are heard so often. Grieving people want to know how to keep their loved ones in their lives. They want to know it is possible. They want to hear comforting words to assure them that the connections they shared with their loved ones will continue. We call these loving connections. A field of research has developed from the need to continue this relationship. It is called continuing bonds. This can be as simple as trusting in the warmth of long-ago happenings, creating cherished memories, or as unique and compelling as knowing you hear your loved one in your everyday, present life. This book will provide everything you need to know about how and why to work toward having a loving connection with your loved one.
