'The Inspiration of Hope in Bereavement Counselling stimulates the reflective practitioner to a multitude of questions... [It] speaks directly to the need for bereavement counsellors to attend to their own hope... John [Cutcliffe] has moved us beyond simply ''hope as an outcome'' to ''hope as a process'' of inspiring re-engagement with life.'. - From the foreword by Ronna Jevne. A person's sense of hope is essential to the process of bereavement counselling and nursing. This book brings together empirical research and theoretical thinking on hope to give practical guidance to professionals working with the bereaved. Experienced practitioner and academic John Cutcliffe takes into account evidence-based practice, describing not only what we know about the role played by hope, but also how we know about it. The text builds on the requirements of practitioners consulted in its development, identifying and examining the dynamics, principles and social processes involved in bereavement counselling and helping practitioners to understand how they can break through grief, anger and despair to inspire hope in their clients. In addition it covers the wider implications of hope-centred counselling on training and policy. Taking in a variety of sources from philosophy to health policy, this book gives a unique and comprehensive view of the developments and possibilities in hope-inspiring bereavement counselling, providing a wealth of advice and guidance for practitioners at all levels. more...

Receive the comfort and wisdom that comes from the heart of a loving God in times of tragedy. There is no greater loss that a mother or father can experience than the death of a child. Parents, siblings, extended family, and friends all share in a grief that seems too great to bear. With love and tender compassion, Pam Dressler shares with readers the poignant and heartbreaking story of the tragic death of her beloved three-year-old daughter, Alexandra—“Alli.” And with a wisdom that can come only from the heart of God, Pam leads those who are experiencing deep personal loss through tragedy to the comfort of a loving Savior, where they will discover understanding, compassion, peace, and hope for their own hearts. As a Christian, Pam experienced the questions and emotions of grief including: “Why God?”, “Am I to blame?”, “I can’t forgive myself”, and even “I am mad at God.” As one who has received God’s supernatural help, Pam is able to testify with a gentle confidence: “The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7). This book is for those who need to know that God is with them and cares about them even in the midst of great pain and loss. more...
