Vivre le deuil au jour le jour

How long does it take to recover the taste for life? Will you be able to return to your life as it was before? Why does pain continually return? Should you hide your pain or let it show? Will others be able to understand and share in it? With the help of numerous examples, Christophe Fauré explains the progress of grief, according to the relationship with the deceased and the circumstances of death. He describes the different stages of the process, from shock, to astonishment, to reconstruction. Accepting grief is the sole pathway to healing the wound and is legitimate and necessary in order to eventually leave it behind. This psychological guide for the grieving and those around them tackles fundamental questions in the light of recent developments both in terms of accompanying the dying (the Leonetti law) and rituals (currently there is a real quest for ritual during the ceremony), and explains and analyses the rupture. It demonstrates to what extent our experiences are normal, and how to travel through them and out the other side. It will act as a companion bringing invaluable clarity and comfort to those unsure how to continue in the face of great pain.
