Synopsis

BOOK TITLE DESCRIPTION: Grief Entanglements: Understanding Unresolved Grief and What You Can Do About It will benefit anyone who wishes to understand, or avoid becoming involved in, an entangled grief experience. It is for the grieving person who experiences one or more of the following: • Reoccurring or tormented reminders of the loss, • Unresolved feelings and emotions, • Continual or obsessive, sad or dark, thoughts regarding loss, • Feelings of being lost and without purpose, • Seeming inability to let go of the grief. This original work introduces a simple, yet extremely effective perspective on processing unresolved grief. What is a Grief Entanglement? In listening to hundreds of grief stories over a period of more than twenty-five years, Professional Counselor, Sharon Greenlee, identifies six sets of story patterns that emerge repeatedly. These patterns involve circumstances or issues that may cause the grieving person to become stuck in the grief process. When the bereaved continues to relive one or more of these story patterns over a prolonged period of time, it becomes, what the author refers to, as a grief entanglement. Real-life stories explain the six grief patterns. Ways to move from entangled grief, to a healthy and peaceful resolve, is the theme of this work.
