Choosing to Live: Enduring the Loss of a Loved One

By Jerry D. Campbell

Book Overview

When Jerry D. Campbell met his co-worker Veta, there was a policy that forbade employees from dating each other. Of course, they broke it - and ended up being sweethearts for forty-seven years.

But when Veta died in April 2010, she left behind a husband devastated by grief. By forcing himself to work through it, he was able to deal with his loss while still enjoying life.

If you're dealing with the death of a loved one, you can't run away from it. In this guidebook to working through loss, you'll learn how to:

- develop a grief calendar that will help you cope with loss;

- maintain a positive attitude as you work through new challenges;

- continue to go about daily life even though you may be alone.

You'll also learn about the five stages of grief identified by Elisabeth K bler-Ross and why the author thinks it's necessary to get to a sixth stage - one he identifies as growth.

By knowing what to expect when a loved one dies and seeing what worked for the author, you'll find it easier to work through your own loss by Choosing to Live.
