Men and Grief: A Guide for Men Surviving the Death of a Loved One : A Resource for Caregivers and Mental Health Professional

Rating:
Summary: Special, Well-focused
Review: I found this book vitally helpful in understanding the unexpected differences in the ways men grieve a loss--myself, as an example--but it also helped me powerfully in dealing with grieving male friends. It comes in chapters that allow selective reading. But it's very well written, and once you start, you'll want to go on. I strongly recommend this book.

Summary: other resources are available now.
Review: I read this book when it was first published in 1991. Since then the topic has been developed and more valuble resources are available including Golden's "Swallowed by a Snake: The Gift of the Masculine Side of Healing."

Summary: Well written and useful
Review: If you liked this book, also try "The Healing Journey Through Grief" by Phil Rich. There is also a Clinician's Guide available. This book is one in a series of self help journaling books designed to help people through life issues, and breaks the process into clear cut stages with information and journaling exercises throughout to help people understand, write about, and work through their issues and difficulties. The other books in the series, all by Phil Rich and other co-authors)include a book on journaling for individuals (The Healing Journey) and one on journaling for couples("The Healing Journey for Couples") and others ("The Healing Journey Through...") on divorce, menopause, job loss, retirement, and addiction.

Summary: Pretty good book
Review: Though it is written from a womans view, the author did a pretty good job. I bought the book for my father because my mother just passed away... he hasn't gone through the book yet so I started reading it. A lot of the things in the book don't pretain to him and he isn't going through what others in the book have gone through. But the book is pretty good.
