Hallie Riggs All the Pieces
When a Loved One Dies from Substance Abuse Often, children who lose a loved one to overdose are not truthfully told what happened to the person who died, because of the stigma associated with this type of death. They often assume that the death was their fault (rather than that it was the symptom of a disease) and that it's not okay to remember their loved one, nor is it okay to feel angry about the death. This book aims to help parents and practitioners address these specific areas and provide validation/ normalization of these grief responses.

Companioning the Bereaved
A Soulful Guide for Counselors and Caregivers Renowned author and educator Alan Wolfelt redefines the role of the grief counselor in this guide for caregivers. His model for "companioning" the bereaved gives a viable alternative to the limitations of the medical establishment, encouraging counselors and other caregivers to aspire to a more compassionate philosophy. This approach argues that grief need no longer be defined, diagnosed, and treated as an illness but rather should be an acknowledgement of an event that forever changes a person's worldview.

Grieving Therapist
Caring for Yourself and Your Clients When It Feels Like the End of the World For readers of No Cure for Being Human and Simple Self-Care for Therapists, a witty and compassionate field guide to the 10 realms of grief--and how to navigate them yourself and with clients. How do you practice good therapy when it's the end of the world as we know it... and no one feels fine? The planet is burning, friends and family are falling to cults and QAnon, and we're all living through the collective trauma of a global pandemic. Among therapists and healers, burnout is rampant; hopelessness and despair are, too. In The Grieving Therapist, psychotherapists Larisa Garski, LMFT, and Justine Mastin, LMFT, give voice to the difficulties of therapising in today's world--and offer a grief-informed framework for taking care of yourself as you take care of others. Informed by narrative, internal family systems, fanfic, and trauma-sensitive therapy, Garski and Mastin examine what it means to be a therapist at the end of the world (or what feels like it). They break down 10 realms of grief that are critical to understand and work with today, but likely weren't taught to you in therapy school. Each chapter includes: Grieving tools that can be adapted for both client and therapist. Tips for supervisors and supervisees. Skills for maintaining healthy outside-the-office relationships. Support for current therapy students (and therapists new to the field). Advice on how to hold space and work with clients who have the same questions-and are navigating the same issues-as you Meditations on love, life, death, and connection Garski and Mastin also share helpful guidance around working with clients whose social or political beliefs differ from yours; when therapeutic self-disclosure makes sense; honoring the information that countertransference is trying to give you; and how to sit with (or step away from) triggers in your work. With humor, compassion, irreverence, and more than a little whimsy, The Grieving Therapist shows you how to show up for yourself, and your clients--in your own full humanity, amidst it all.
