The Jewish Journey Through Loss From Death to Healing [Hardcover]

Death is inevitable, and every loss is different. It may leave behind a partner, family, friends, and community, all with no roadmap to navigate the painful months ahead. You may not "get over" the death of a loved one quickly and your life may never feel the same, but you will go on. You will learn to live with your loss as you move forward, and Judaism's timeless traditions provide much-needed gentle guidance. The Jewish Journey Through Loss: From Death to Healing, written by a clinical psychologist and a Jewish educator, offers a framework to help guide you, step by-step, through the pain of losing a loved one. It is clear and accessible, with relevant vignettes reflecting the thoughts and feelings of others who have been through this process. The book is based upon Judaism's traditional practices, which parallel the psychological progression of mourning and the individual's experience of grief, enabling the mourner to transition from loss through the process of shiva, sheloshim, the first year, and onward.
