It examines the interventions most effective at each phase of life, combining theory, sound clinical practice, and empirical research with insights emerging from powerful accounts of personal experience. <p/>The authors emphasize that loss and grief are universal yet highly individualized. Loss comes in many forms and can include not only a loved one's death but also divorce, adoption, living with chronic illness, caregiving, retirement and relocation, or being abused, assaulted, or otherwise traumatized. They approach the topic from the perspective of the resilience model, which acknowledges people's capacity to find meaning in their losses and integrate grief into their lives. The book explores the varying roles of age, race, culture, sexual orientation, gender, and spirituality in responses to loss. Presenting a variety of models, approaches, and resources, <i>Living Through Loss</i> offers invaluable lessons that can be applied in any practice setting by a wide range of human service and health care professionals. <p/>This second edition features new and expanded content on diversity and trauma, including discussions of gun violence, police brutality, suicide, and an added focus on systemic racism.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Living Through Loss </i>is an important, timely, and compelling book that presents an evolved perspective of the universal experiences of loss and grief.

This is a rich addition to the consideration of loss.--Allan Cole, author of <i>Good Mourning: Getting Through Your Grief</i><br><br>Uniquely, the authors interweave professional and scholarly knowledge with personal experience.
