  Grief is a natural and healthy reaction to loss but it can be extremely debilitating and result in a downward emotional spiral, impacting on such aspects of life as relationships and work.

  Relentless grief can cause a host of physical problems due to the sufferer not looking after themselves properly, for example not eating, becoming over-reliant on alcohol, experiencing disrupted sleep. It can also lead to serious emotional and psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, health anxiety and panic attacks.

  This self-help book will prove invaluable to the recently bereaved, guiding them through the painful process of bereavement.

  Topics covered:

  Dealing with expected or unexpected death

  Challenging unhelpful thoughts

  Establishing a routine and tackling avoidance

  Returning to work

  Practical aspects such as dealing with the funeral, birthdays, etc.

  Planning a new future
