How to Help Someone Through Loss and Grief
Trigger Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-83796-142-9 (ISBN)
Watching a friend or family member experience a life-changing loss can be heartbreaking. And often we don’t know how best to help.
In this empathetic and highly practical book, clinical psychologist Dr Emma Cotterill includes her lived experience – and that of others – to provide readers with a valuable blend of both real-life and clinical advice.
Dr Cotterill first helps you understand what grief can look like and the psychology that underpins the human experience of loss. She then helps you navigate how best to help: from providing emotional and practical support, to knowing what to say – and what not to say. Dr Cotterill also recognizes the emotional toll that accompanies supporting someone through their grief, and gives strategies to ensure you look after yourself.
Dr Emma Cotterill is a chartered clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience. She supports individuals experiencing mental health difficulties, with specialist experience in supporting parents and mothers, and exploring issues of grief, loss and trauma. She uses an individualized integrative therapy approach, drawing on CBT, ACT, CFT, EMDR, systemic approaches and mindfulness. Dr Cotterill is the author of How to Help Someone with Depression, Mental Health Microgains, and Surviving Solo Motherhood.
