My friends Shirley Enebrad has a new book out, and given that the holidays can be a difficult time if you’ve lost a loved one, I highly recommend this book to help you cope with grief and loss!

SEATTLE, Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Grief and loss counselor Shirley Enebrad is announcing the release of her newest book, Six Word Lessons on Coping with Grief; 100 Lessons to Help You and Your Loved Ones Deal with Loss. It provides practical lessons on coping with loss and overcoming grief. “Loss is one of the inevitabilities of life,” says Enebrad. “It is something all of us encounter, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. This book can offer help with the emotions we all feel when faced with the loss of a family member or friend, or even the loss of a job or marriage.”

Enebrad became a certified grief and loss counselor after her young son, Cory, died from cancer. That experience and how she coped, taught Enebrad how vital it is to acknowledge one’s grief, and inspired her to work with others who have been touched by loss. “I want people to know they are not alone,” says Enebrad. “There is no time limit on grief, and most importantly, grieving is not a mental illness.”

Six Word Lessons on Coping with Grief; 100 Lessons to Help You and Your Loved Ones Deal with Loss examines the shock, denial and even guilt that people often encounter after a major loss. It’s already receiving praise from those in the medical and counseling fields.

“Shirley Enebrad did not choose to share a meal at Grief’s table, but she did,” says Dr. Lawrence Lincoln, Medical Director of the Tucson Medical Center Hospice. “Amongst the unrequested wisdom gleaned from this repast is that Grief is best consumed in bite-sized morsels.  ‘Six Word Lessons’ is filled with easily digestible sustenance for the long return journey back to the living.”

“This primer on grief is practical, honest, and totally on the money about feelings, thoughts, and behaviors which are part of the human experience of grief and loss,” says Dr. Bill Womack, psychiatrist. “It also takes direct aim at the guilt experienced about ‘the need to talk about it.'”

Enebrad has also written Over the Rainbow Bridge, My son’s journey from here to Heaven, (2009) chronicling Cory’s story and how he inspired everyone whose lives he touched. Both of Enebrad’s books are available on Amazon, and her website, www.shirleyenebrad.com.

I’ve just read the Time article to get a sumamry of the author’s thinking. As a clergyperson for almost 30 years, I’ve seen a number of people live through loss and grief in a variety of ways, and have done so myself. I have found that people often experience the feelings that Kubler-Ross’s identified (as well as others), but it is been clear to me for many years that we do not expereince those feelings in systematic stages, but rather in unpredictable roller-coaster fashion not unlike the oscillating graph shown on this site. My own (admittedly anectodatal) take on grief… Read more »
