Healing the Grieving Heart by Alan D. Wolfelt (1999, Paperback)

Compassionate and eminently practical, Dr. Wolfelt's new 100 Ideas books offer specific, here-and-now suggestions for helping mourners heal. Healing Your Grieving Heart is for the mourners themselves; Healing The Grieving Heart is for families, friends and caregivers who want to help someone in mourning.

Some of the ideas explain Dr. Wolfelt's basic principles of grief and mourning. Readers will learn about the difference between grief and mourning, the six universal needs of mourning, the multitude of feelings mourners may experience, the role of "linking objects" and many other fundamental tenets of healing in grief.
