Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GRIEF-has no rules and in many ways, it will last as long as love does. ForeverJULY IS BEREAVED PARENTS [awareness] MONTH.Approximately 73,000 children under the age of 18 die each year in the US which makes hundreds of thousands of grieving parents. However, in volume 8 of this collection, we are going to be honoring the grandparents who have experienced the loss of a grandchild. Grandparents, "the forgotten grievers" coined the term because although they are doubly grieved by the ache for their grandchild and pain of their own child are often overlooked along with the support needed. Usually, this exclusion is not intentional-grandparents are simply overlooked in all the turmoil. Please be mindful of grieving grandparents and offer support wherever you can. So what is a grief journal? A grief journal records the experience of grief, which has therapeutic qualities. The journal provides a venue for expression without fear of judgment, which also helps reconstruct the personal self narrative, which is critical in the healing process. Some people say that writing through their grief was the only way they were able to cope after their child had died. Writing daily for approx. 15-20min. is all it takes to begin the healing process.Whether you or someone you know has recently lost a child, or it was a while ago- the benefits of writing through the grief remain the same. This grief journal is part of a series titled: July is Bereaved Parents Month and is dedicated in loving memory to, Claire Alyse.

Download or read book The Grief related Experiences of Grandparents when a Child Has Died Or is Terminally Ill written by Valerie Leveson and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exploratory, qualitative study aimed to describe the grief-related experiences and support needs of grandparents when dealing with the death, disability or terminal illness of grandchildren. Three focus groups were held: the participants in two were grandparents who had been bereaved by the death of a grandchild, and the participants in the other were grandparents who had a grandchild with a disability or terminal illness. One participant who was unable to attend a focus group was interviewed individually. This small study found that when a child is seriously disabled, ill or dies, often grandparents are seen as part of the support system for the parents and siblings of the child, but their grief and disempowerment in the situation in which they are not usually the decision makers can be hard to bear. It was found that the grief experienced by grandparents can be complex and multi-dimensional as it can be complicated by a number of factors, including: having to support their children and other grandchildren in their grief; grieving for them, while grieving for themselves; and the loss of their dream of a future where their grandchild could have a full and healthy life. Recommendations for further research and what can be done to help these disenfranchised or forgotten grievers are discussed.

Download or read book Missing the Child You Love written by H. Norman DMin Wright and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2014-04-18 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most devastating losses a family can experience is the loss of a child. Whether the loss is through illness, accident, drugs, suicide, or other tragedy, the pain is overwhelming and often paralyzing. Often we think of "loss" as death. However, in our broken world there are many ways to suffer the loss of a child. This book discusses how a family can learn to cope with loss of a child due not only to death, but also to a custody battle, addiction (and other choices a child makes), chronic illness, crime (human trafficking, kidnap), and other issues where hopes and dreams disappear. Wright helps readers through the grieving process and assists them in finding God's grace and comfort during this very difficult time of life. This book is unique as it is for parents as well as grandparents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An original, authoritative guide to the impact of grief on the brain, the heart, and the body of the bereaved Grief happens to everyone. Universal and enveloping, grief cannot be ignored or denied. This original new book by psychologist Dorothy P. Holinger uses humanistic and physiological approaches to describe grief’s impact on the bereaved. Taking examples from literature, music, poetry, paleoarchaeology, personal experience, memoirs, and patient narratives, Holinger describes what happens in the brain, the heart, and the body of the bereaved. Readers will learn what grief is like after a loved one dies: how language and clarity of thought become elusive, why life feels empty, why grief surges and ebbs so persistently, and why the bereaved cry. Resting on a scientific foundation, this literary book shows the bereaved how to move through the grieving process and how understanding grief in deeper, more multidimensional ways can help quell this sorrow and allow life to be lived again with joy.

Download or read book Pastoral Care in Pregnancy Loss written by Thomas Moe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until now, the church has been unaware of the need for ministry to those suffering from pregnancy loss. At a time when approximately one in four pregnancies ends in loss, the need to understand and provide caring ministry is painfully obvious. Pastoral Care in Pregnancy Loss introduces the religious community to the issue of pregnancy loss and describes the ministries that can be helpful to those who experience these tragedies. Effective ministry in pregnancy loss requires that one develop basic life theories in order to prepare for such in-depth care. Thus, the book is more than a “how to” as it explores why there is suffering and why some suffer more than others, how to find grace when God seems far away, how to minister when we don’t have answers, and how religious ministry can consistently work with other helping professionals in support of the individual. With the foundation of ministry theory provided by Pastoral Care in Pregnancy Loss, you can help your faith community develop strategies for ministry to those suffering from pregnancy loss. Numerous case studies illustrate what is usually done wrong in providing pastoral care in these difficult and delicate situations and explain why those who experience loss may blame themselves, why they may blame God, and why they may not feel able to return to church. Providing helpful insight to hospital pastoral care departments, church libraries, funeral directors, counselors and psychologists, nursing and obstetrics professionals, and seminaries with a marriage and family ministry specialty, this book provides readers with information about: three types of pregnancy loss--miscarriage, still birth, and neonatal loss church outreach the grieving process victims as “consenters” or “experiencers” the spiritual needs of those suffering loss practical ministries crisis support and long-term support. Pastoral Care in Pregnancy Loss furthers your understanding of pregnancy loss by enumerating theories on how suffering and loss are viewed by those suffering--either as a time of testing, a time of training, a mystery of God, a sign of punishment and warning, or as having no meaning. The book also shows how pregnancy loss affects five different types of personal relationships and discusses both immediate and long-term concerns of providing pastoral care. From helping the victim find meaning or reason for the loss to providing support in preparing for future pregnancies, this book provides much-needed guidance to an often-neglected ministry.
