Book Description
The ABC's of Grief: A Handbook for Survivors meets bereaved persons wherever they might be in the grieving process, providing snatches of meaning, hope, empathy, and understanding. This handbook is a product of the author's own grief experience. Confronting her loss, Christine Adams found that it was all right to grieve at her own pace: one day at a time, one thought, word, and letter at a time. The handbook's alphabetical format allows readers, or group leaders, to focus on any aspect of grief that suits them. If a reader becomes absorbed in "anger" or "anxiety," he or she can go back to reread those parts of the handbook and with each visit will find some new realization and meaning. Every section contains appropriate quotations, stories, and poems, written by survivors who found solace in writing.The information is useful at a time of grief, the encouragement by the author is soothing, and the poems and stories remind the reader that others have visited the same places in their grief process.

Book Description
After experiencing the devastation of losing one of our identical twin boys, I was exposed to a world of sorrow formerly unimagined. With new eyes opened to the heartbreak of the women surrounding me, I undertook the daunting task of researching the universality of suffering, primarily by documenting the stories of fifty women concentrated in a five-mile radius. These accounts of tragedy and hope are intermingled with scriptural accounts, the words of modern-day apostles and prophets, psychological and sociological views, as well as my own experiences. This book is a tapestry of vast human experience, covering a wide array of challenges including infertility, loss, abuse, mental and physical health issues, suicide, financial stress, divorce, addiction, and more. And yet, despite the myriad of trials and accompanying grief, these women exemplify testimonies of faith, resilience, and love. As they move through the three phases of a Grief to Growth Mindset (Victim to Survivor to Contributor), I document helpful tools for embracing, moving through, and learning to assist others because of our sorrows.

Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From authors of Lean In and Originals: a powerful, inspiring, and practical book about building resilience and moving forward after life’s inevitable setbacks After the sudden death of her husband, Sheryl Sandberg felt certain that she and her children would never feel pure joy again. “I was in ‘the void,’” she writes, “a vast emptiness that fills your heart and lungs and restricts your ability to think or even breathe.” Her friend Adam Grant, a psychologist at Wharton, told her there are concrete steps people can take to recover and rebound from life-shattering experiences. We are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. It is a muscle that everyone can build. Option B combines Sheryl’s personal insights with Adam’s eye-opening research on finding strength in the face of adversity. Beginning with the gut-wrenching moment when she finds her husband, Dave Goldberg, collapsed on a gym floor, Sheryl opens up her heart—and her journal—to describe the acute grief and isolation she felt in the wake of his death. But Option B goes beyond Sheryl’s loss to explore how a broad range of people have overcome hardships including illness, job loss, sexual assault, natural disasters, and the violence of war. Their stories reveal the capacity of the human spirit to persevere . . . and to rediscover joy. Resilience comes from deep within us and from support outside us. Even after the most devastating events, it is possible to grow by finding deeper meaning and gaining greater appreciation in our lives. Option B illuminates how to help others in crisis, develop compassion for ourselves, raise strong children, and create resilient families, communities, and workplaces. Many of these lessons can be applied to everyday struggles, allowing us to brave whatever lies ahead. Two weeks after losing her husband, Sheryl was preparing for a father-child activity. “I want Dave,” she cried. Her friend replied, “Option A is not available,” and then promised to help her make the most of Option B. We all live some form of Option B. This book will help us all make the most of it.

Book Description
In Adam’s Gift, author Cindy Williams Adams shares the story of the death of her twenty-seven-year-old son, Adam, and her subsequent spiritual journey. Hi! I’m Adam, and I’m dead. Well, not really. I’m still here ... “The first night in the hospital, while Adam was on life support, around midnight, a nurse advised me to go home and get some rest. I looked at Adam’s monitor. His heart rate was 180, a normal heart rate for an infant. At that point, his vital signs were nominal. I said I’d go home when Adam’s heart rate reached 111. Greg and I sat in the dark, listening to the beep-beep of Adam’s monitor. A few minutes later, Greg said, “Look at the monitor.” Adam’s heart rate was 111. My youngest sister, Rhonda, and I clipped some locks of Adam’s dark brown hair as a keepsake. I was sitting at the head of his bed examining our handiwork when I heard Adam say jokingly, “Mom, what the fuck did you do to my hair?” In that pivotal moment, if I’d talked myself out of believing what I’d just experienced, I would have grieved Adam’s death in an entirely different way. Trusting the communication from Adam was real not only allowed me to accept the loss of Adam’s physical presence, it allowed me to create an entirely new relationship with the part of Adam that is eternal. Adam’s lungs, kidneys, pancreas, and liver saved the lives of two individuals and significantly improved the lives of three others. Adam’s liver went to a young mother from Indiana, where I was born. Adam’s pancreas went to a woman with diabetes who’ll never have to suffer another amputation. Adam’s kidneys went to a woman from somewhere in California and to a man in Oakland who no longer plan their life around the need for dialysis. Adam’s lungs went to a seventy-two-year-old man from Arizona.” From January 2011 to February 2023, Adam led me on a twelve-year-long wild goose chase where I collected seemingly random puzzle pieces that when presented altogether, finally make sense. From a past life as a knowledge keeper in Atlantis to serving as an intergalactic guardian, Adam’s mind-blowing after-death adventures will change everything you thought you knew about life and death and the world as we know it. Don’t let your skin suit fool you into thinking you’re anything less than a co-creator with God. We don’t have to die to evolve to a higher level of consciousness. When it comes to consciousness-raising, Adam and I are giving away the cheats. Adam’s Gift is more than a memoir, it’s a multidimensional multimedia experience. Brace yourself, you’re in for an e-ticket ride. Adams’ debut memoir is an effectively concise account of a mother navigating her own grief while also finding ways to help others heal. Adams vividly renders her story of her life’s journey, and her sense of exuberance is evident throughout... — Kirkus review The story of Adam and the special bond he shares with his mom gives those hope who question an afterlife. —Dannion Brinkley, internationally bestselling author of Saved by the Light, At Peace in the Light, and Secrets of the Light You don’t have to have experienced loss to love Adam’s Gift. It isn’t a book of grief. Its gift to the reader is about the resilience of love and the unwavering faith of a mother faced with unimaginable circumstances and boundless faith. —Meg Blackburn Losey, PhD, author of international bestsellers, The Children of Now, The Secret History of Consciousness, and Touching the Light Through the experiences recounted by Adam’s mother, readers are immersed in a world where love transcends physical boundaries and continues to connect souls even after death. —Rhys Wynn Davies, Australia’s 2023 Psychic of the Year, and author of How to Talk to the Dead in 10 Easy Steps Adam’s Gift was so riveting to read. I came away from it feeling as if I had gained so much. I can’t thank Adam and Cindy enough for writing this book. —Sarah Breskman Cosme, bestselling author of A Hypnotist’s Journey to Atlantis, A Hypnotist’s Journey to the Secret of the Sphinx, and A Hypnotist’s Journey from the Trail to the Star People

Book Description
When a loved one dies, you don't get over it, but you can move forward. The bad news is that we never fully "get over" the loss of those we hold most dear; we bear those scars to the grave. The good news is that God is at work in us turning our loss and pain into something beautiful. God can take the scars and the mess and the heartache of our lives-- yours and mine-- and use it to give new life, new life to us and new life to others. God is not in the business of zapping our loved ones and stealing them away from us. But in a world where death waits for every person, God stands ready. God stands ready to receive our beloved dead as they cross over; and God stands ready to guide us through the saddest days, to walk with us through our grief, and to take us into places we never could have imagined places of hope and renewal. If God could take a cross and broken body and make of them redemption, God can take your pain and heartache and fashion them into new life. This book is composed of the reflections that point to broader lessons that will help those who find themselves passing through grief, as well as the pastors, counselors, and friends whose job is to accompany the traveler.

Book Description
The Nature of Grief is a provocative new study on the evolution of grief. Most literature on the topic regards grief either as a psychiatric disorder or illness to be cured. In contrast to this, John Archer shows that grief is a natural reaction to losses of many sorts, even to the death of a pet, and he proves this by bringing together material from evolutionary psychology, ethology and experimental psychology. This innovative new work will be required reading for developmental and clinical psychologists and all those in the caring professions.
