Most bereavement materials are focused on the first year of the grieving experience. For many people, that provides the support, guidance and wisdom that allows the person to deal with the difficult issues that loss presents. However, for some people, the grief journey takes a longer time or it is delayed beyond the first year as a result of complicating factors. We have often been asked, “What do you have for after the first anniversary?” In response to this need, Doug has written Grief’s Second Mile: Life Beyond the First Year. The book addresses some of the specific losses such as the death after extended illness, death of a child, suicide, violent or unresolved deaths, and why those may lengthen or stall the person’s ability to approach the necessary transitions of grief in a healthy or complete manner. He provides insights and suggestions for developing ways to express feelings and cope with the loss and how to seek the help that is vital. As he does in each of his writings, Doug focuses on allowing the readers to feel “normal” in their search and to discover the answers that are right for them. A valuable resource for those families or individuals who wish for further help with their grief beyond the first anniversary of their loss.
