Grief is a natural reaction to the loss of a treasured person. In
time, the loss is usually assimilated, but, for some, the mourning
process becomes disrupted or stuck. Grief remains long-lasting and
unresolved, and the death as painful as if it had happened
yesterday. This book looks at how to cope with this kind of
reaction to bereavement, so that it becomes possible to accept the
death and master its impact. Topics include: The difference between
'normal' and 'complicated' grief; Links with other conditions such
as post-traumatic stress disorder and depression; Understanding the
impact of grief; How to manage related emotions such as anger and
guilt; Identifying unhelpful thinking; Using memories and visual
imagery positively; Moving your loved one from your mind to your
heart; How to create a lasting memorial.
This classic book, first published in 1997, provides comprehensive
and sympathetic coverage of a distressing subject. Every year many
thousands of people have a stoma - colostomy and ileostomy are the
commonest types. But, while the surgery may be life-saving, the
results can be hard to adjust to. Professor White explains in
clear, straightforward terms all aspects of living with a stoma,
including ways to make you feel more comfortable with it, overcome
embarrassment, and get the best support.
An ostomy is an opening on the abdomen created by a surgeon to
allow waste material to be expelled. The operation is performed as
a lifesaving measure when the bodys normal system for expelling
waste no longer functions. With practical guidelines and emotional
support for ostomy patients and their families, this book addresses
all aspects of postoperative care as well as such sensitive issues
as social situations and sexual intimacy.
