This pioneering book provides guidance for those helping bereaved
adults through the process of grieving loved ones who died as a
result of substance use. People bereaved in this manner require
very specific support through these unique circumstances, and this

field on how to help people bereaved in this way, with examples of
good practice. It combines theory, research and practice in a
straightforward and untechnical way, clearly describing the
complex, severe nature of these bereavements and how to support
bereaved people through this complex grieving process. The book
also explains bereavement, substance use and how addictive
substance use can affect a family, and provides comprehensive case
studies that illustrate how to support and counsel. Rooted in
specialist professional experience, this is the indispensable guide
for all those whose work involves supporting these bereaved people,
as well as being of interest to those bereaved this way and their
family, friends and colleagues who may be supporting them.
