<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The death of a loved one throws us into a surreal world no one else can understand. The poems in <em>Words for the Unbearable</em>, written after the death of San Francisco Bay Area psychologist Enid Sanders' one-year-old daughter and later her husband, take readers on a down-to-earth journey through the everyday realities of grieving. </p><p>People who are grieving are searching for comfort, understanding, and a sense of meaning after a loved one dies. <em>Words for the Unbearable</em> is a collection of poetry for grieving and poetry for healing; psychologists have found reading and writing poetry can help people heal. </p><p>These aren't only poems about death or poems for funerals-though they offer solace to those who are grieving. The <em>Words for the Unbearable</em> are poems about family, about memories, and about the deep bonds of love and joy that link us all together. </p><p>Poetry is a silver thread that can connect hearts, and <em>Words for the Unbearable</em> makes a wonderful addition to collections featuring Alice Walker, Mary Oliver, Emily Dickinson, and other female poets. </p><p>This collection makes a meaningful gift for grieving widows or widowers to mirror their experience and show that they are loved and not alone. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"I am wiping tears so that I can write. What a truly amazing gift this is. I feel as though I've been seen and heard and understood. Each poem is a picture memory, a reminder, a suggestion, a loving gesture, words that attest to the author's love. I thought only I loved so deeply and hurt so profoundly, but she's captured and clarified grief so well, it was comforting to read her words, even though many hurt like hell...Enid Sanders has done a great service; her words evoke strong feelings and encourage reflection, while providing the strange comfort that comes from being understood."</p><p>-Eliana Gil, PhD, author, "The Healing Power of Play: Working with Abused Children" and senior partner, Gil Institute for Trauma Recovery and Education</p><p>"It is rare that an author can capture both the emotional and intellectual experience of grief, but Dr. Sanders has succeeded. Having lived through the loss of her young daughter and, later, her beloved husband, she has a personal experience of mourning that gives life to Words for the Unbearable</em>. The experience of grief and loss is vast and deep, creating a wound in the heart and soul of one's life. Most of us find it impossible to express that experience, but Dr. Sanders uses her work as a psychologist--and a poet--to help the reader identify, name, and deal with the profound and universal aspects of grief. Her unique point of view is expressed skillfully and gently in a work of compassion and understanding that comes from the soul of someone who has loved deeply."</p><p>-Daniel Kostalnick, MD, psychiatrist</p><br>
