Recovery From Loss


Recovery From Loss



This book could be helpful but it takes too much intellectual effort to construct a personalized grief process plan, which one might not be able to deal with at a time of bereavement. So I recommend reading this book not immediately after your loss, but perhaps a few months later. It relies on the Myers-Briggs Personality classification to help the reader lay out a plan for their own recovery and recommends that the reader gets a professional testing from a certified psychologist. However, an unofficial version of the test is available on the Myers-Briggs website. I feel that one might not muster the strength to deal with figuring such things out at such a difficult time. If you are receiving grief therapy, it might be a good complimentary resource. The information is not overwhelming and the book is very reader-friendly, but you might feel like you are studying a college text or your Psych 101 notes in some parts.
