James Van Praagh's first two books, both New York Times
bestsellers, have been a powerful healing force for millions of
readers. Using his talents as a medium, Van Praagh has not only helped
the bereaved reach their lost loved ones and find peace but he has also
illuminated the mysteries of death, the afterlife, and rebirth. His new
book, Healing Grief,
will once again draw from his compelling and uplifting readings, but
with a new and special purpose- to show what the spirit world can teach
us about the grieving process itself.
While grief is clearly a
natural response to death, it should also properly accompany life's
other difficult passages, including times of transition, the loss of a
relationship, or even the loss of a pet. Healing Grief
begins with chapters that each examine a specific kind of loss - death
of a parent, a spouse, or a child, the end of a marriage, or the onset
of a troubling life change, such as unemployment or grave illness - and
considers the particular bereavement issues it may engender. The book
also offers advice on explaining death to children, on distinguishing
healthy from destructive grief, and on harnessing the powers of healing
through special exercises, meditation and affirmations. Healing Grief
should be, in Van Praagh's words, "a manual for grieving well,"
offering an inspiring new perspective on grief from a world-renowned
medium who has become an expert at helping people cope with unresolvable
sorrow.
