About this book
Living Through Loss is the first book to identify the many ways in which people experience loss over the course of life and to discuss the interventions most effective at each stage of life. The authors' starting point is that loss comes in many forms and can include not only suffering the death of a person one loves but also giving birth to a child with disabilities, living with chronic illness, or being abused, assaulted, or otherwise traumatized. They approach loss from the perspective of the resilience model, which acknowledges the capacity of people to integrate loss into their lives, and write sensitively about the role of age, race, culture, sexual orientation, gender, and spirituality in a person's response to loss. More than a comprehensive source on loss, the volume is distinguished by the authors' beautiful use of clients' experiences-and their own-thus making their book definitive and indelible.

Resilience
and
Meaning
Making
Resilience
is
one
model
for
viewing
the
process
of
making
meaning,
achieving
mastery,
and
organizing
information
in
terms
of
interventions.
We
encourage
you
to
construct
your
own
working
model
or
guidelines
that
fit
with
your
expe-
rience,
knowledge
of
human
behavior
across
the
life
span,
evidence-based
prac-
tice,
and
outcomes.
In
your
assessment
and
interventions,
we
hope
you
will
be
sensitive
to
the
interaction
of
domains
of
background
characteristics,
family,
community
and
cultural
supports,
and
how
you
and
the
client
define
well-
being.
As
you
adapt
from
and
empirically
test
the
resilience
model,
always
place
your
first
priority
on
listening—really
listening—to
what
the
bereaved
tell
you.
