    About this ebook


    AFTER YOUR LOVED ONE DIES: Finding Hope and Strength to Carry On is based on experiences of bereavement and the grief that follows the death of a loved one. Although we assume that we know what a bereaved person goes through after such a loss (shock and sadness), this is just the tip of the iceberg. Loss of a loved one entails an out-of-view and deep-seated suffering capable of creating startling and peculiar reactions and changes in the bereaved, which the book highlights so that all may understand.


    The book incorporates both the authors own experiences and those of other bereaved people she sought out after the death of her husband. It is hoped that the book will help not onlythe newly bereaved but alsothose who have been bereaved for a longer time but still struggling to make sense of their loss, because of the lingering nature of grief.


    It is divided into five parts, each covering a specific aspect of these experiences and addresses, inter alia, the following:


    1) Adjusting to the loss and to an environment in which your loved one is no longer present.


    2) Some coping tips on how to find hope and strength to carry on.


    3) Cultural sensitivity and the role that culture plays in bereavement and grief.


    4) The valuable lessons that one learns on this painful journey of grief, which can be imparted to others - to the bereaved, to those around the bereaved, and to others, because bereavement can happen to any one at some point in their life - therefore a kind of forewarned is fore-armed so

    Jillian Copperfelt

    The author is a Domestic Abuse and Victims Welfare criminologist and an independent researcher, with a masters degree in criminal justice studies. She grew up in Uganda and Kenya, where she worked as a broadcaster and teacher before emigrating to Britain 25 years ago. Her credentials as an author include two academic dissertations - one for an undergraduate research project, the other one for a Masters degree research project. She has also written a book on the experiences of male victims of domestic violence and abuse, published by AuthorHouse. The author has in the past been involved in victims of crime issues for her local Victim Support Scheme in England, which entailed offering emotional support and practical help to victims of crime. And, as a strong advocate of victims of crime interests, she also trained in victim-offender mediation skills and thereafter worked briefly in that capacity for her local scheme in London. Prior to that, the author had pursued a writing course for Short Stories and Articles with the London School of Journalism, and has had some of her articles published in newspapers, news magazines and womens magazines.
