Description
Life After Loss explores how humans mourn and cope with loss, from those closest to us to those we simply knew. Dr. Vamik D. Volkan, a psychiatrist specializing in grief, examines the complexities of mourning, sharing his own story of grieving to illustrate the impact of unresolved losses.
The book is divided into three parts, examining the dynamics of successful mourning, the risk factors that can influence the grieving process, and how therapy, resiliency, and creative expression can help us navigate our emotions. By understanding the psychological aspects of loss, readers can better support themselves and others through difficult times.
