Extended description

The greatest fault found in other grief and loss books is they have not “systemized” the understanding process. Popular works have the information the reader needs so desperately spread throughout their pages or contained in multiple books.

There was a need for a book that plainly and simply “systemized” the journey through death, grief, sorrow, and anger. Needed was a book, which took the wisdom of the ages and applied it to several simple steps or paths.

The Wisdom of Death: Six Paths to Understanding Loss and Grief fills that need. It gathers the most important aspects of understanding loss and places them in a six-path system that enables the griever to grasp universal wisdom and truth easily and orderly.

Especially helpful is a "death timeline" where one can approximately determine a loved one's death by observing certain physical and spiritual symptoms. Also, the author discusses methods to responding to others, who are mourning, through a natural empathy. This is called the A.I.M. approach and has assisted many people.

The book contains information in an appendix that discusses financial matters one may face after losing a loved one. This includes a very useful and practical financial checklist. Cons, scams and other financial pit-falls are also examined.

Packed with wisdom, practical advice, and a spiritual view, The Wisdom of Death is a must read book for anyone who has lost a loved one through death. This book was born from first hand experience with the dying process rather than from a cold clinical psychological perspective. The author experienced everything he writes about.

The Wisdom of Death will impart to the reader a better understanding of the dying and grieving process.
