Living Through Loss

Interventions Across the Life Span

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 
t 
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 
dene 
well-
being. 
As 
you 
adapt 
from 
and 
empirically 
test 
the 
resilience 
model, 
always 
place
your 
rst 
priority 
on 
listening—really 
listening—to 
what 
the 
bereaved 
tell 
you.
