When someone close passes away, the emotional wreckage left behind is grief.

This feeling drills down to the core of our very being – leaving us confused and in severe pain.

Some sections of this handbook present helpful materials for grief sufferers specifically; the entire handbook, however, aims to assist bereavement support group facilitators in providing useful suggestions, alternative perspectives, and helpful insights that have proven valuable in how to conduct a meaningful interaction as part of the support group dynamics, and on how to support individual group members in order to assist in their navigating a well-defined healing process.

Many reviewers of this work noted the vast amount of useful information herein presented, covering a number of critical issues related to grief and to the essential benchmarks on the journey through the darkness and into the light.

The Bereavement Handbook is a framework for healing.

The inevitability and complexity of grief makes grief-support important and imperative. Dr. Kieffer’s handbook for support group facilitators is a timely and valuable resource for facilitators and participants alike.

Dr. Kieffer’s informative handbook for facilitators is chock-full of quotes and intriguing sentences that are great jumping-off points to start or end grief group meetings. Whether you are new to facilitating or leading grief groups, or a seasoned pro, chances are very good that you will come across a fresh new insight.

I was impressed with the scope and depth of the materials presented in this handbook. Obviously, much time, thought, and effort went into developing it, and it should be made available to others to benefit those dealing with grief.
