Seven Choices

The last thing a person who has experienced a loss considers is that you have choices. The choices may feel overwhelming, or one doesn't feel capable of making the choices. However, Seven Choices is a very good choice. I speaking about the book by Elizabeth Harper Neeld, entitled Seven choices. It is a book I have used in my grief support groups. Armed with a PHD. and an early loss of a mate, Neeld turns tragedy into triumph with her personal loss, and then shares her seven choices in a very good book. Insightful and helpful, this book is outstanding!

One of the most dramatic concepts is that instead of closure, Neeld speaks of reconstructing one's life after a loss. Since I have always believed that closure is something we do to doors, and not to grief or loss, I find this concept one that translates into life--and death. Although it is hard to select just one book for all the people who have and/or will lose a mate, Seven Choices just might be the one! The choice is up to you.
