A Living Loss: Surviving Separation from a Loved One - Paperback

When a family member is lost to death, the grieving process is shattering. Lives are changed; hearts are broken. Yet, even in the depths of despair, there is hope. There is help, too-therapists, support groups, and other family members. But what of living loss? What of the enforced separation from a family member who still lives? How to Survive Enforced Separation from a Family Member focuses on living loss-when a person becomes estranged from a family member or loved one. In this case, it is a forced estrangement, wherein one family member (the enforcer) refuses to see another family member (the enforced). There is not necessarily any explanation, which can lead to grief, depression, and eventual decline in health. However, even in estrangement, there is hope. Author Barbara Rombough is ready to help you heal. She uses cognitive therapy strategies, relaxation techniques, and so much more to mend the brokenhearted. You will emerge a different person, filled with strength, inner peace, and acceptance, whether or not the broken family bonds are ever healed.
