About the Book

The emotional responses to death are unpredictable and individual, with denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance all natural stages of the grief cycle. Mindfulness & The Journey of Bereavement explores the universal, life-changing journey of grief and offers insight into how we can understand our feelings, nourish our needs, and face the future positively, with hope. Bereavement volunteer Peter Bridgewater shares therapeutic tools into how the practice of mindfulness can develop a conscious awareness of life and death. With frank personal and professional anecdotes, he helps us to navigate the trauma of loss with clarity and wisdom.

The importance of sleep and food.  Chapter Two: ANGER  pp52–73 The antidote to anger is loving-kindness and compassion. How grief can feel like madness. What anger can create and how it can make us feel. Accept and clear away the red mist. Mindfulness is an invitation to see clearly and use our anger constructively. Family rifts. Talking therapies.

Chapter Five: ACCEPTANCE  pp106-137 Adjusting to the new dynamics of where we find ourselves to be and go forward with our life. Awareness is allowing ourselves to accept the pain of loss.
