Everyone faces grief at one point or another in her or his life. But how to handle it? Here, Elissa Bishop-Becker draws on her own experience to help others with an effective approach known as Transformative Bereavement. Walking the reader through the four stages -- Loss, Return, Reconnection, and Creation -- she draws on stories from her clients, friends, and contacts to explain the process of recovery from grief. ""The Grief Spiral changed the way I think about bereavement. As a professor in the College of William & Mary counseling program, I would recommend this book to all of my students as a supplementary text and to all my friends as a guide to dealing with life's many changes. It is full of wisdom and experience, a must for anyone who is alive!"" -Prof. Charles F. Gressard, Ph.D., Chair Emeritus of the National Board for Certified Counselors
