Title: Thoughtful and Insightful Discussion of Bereavement
Review: This book was recommended to me by my cousin's husband shortly after my father's death. It helped me more effectively deal with many bereavement issues. In The Orphaned Adult, psychologist Alexander Levy provides thoughtful, head-and-heart analysis of what it's like to lose one's parents. He draws the meaningful distinction between those who have lost one parent and those who've lost both. A person who has lost both mother and father is forced to confront his or her own mortality because there is no longer a generation that stands between that individual and the reaper. Drawing on examples from his practice, Levy sees bereavement as an opportunity for self-exploration and growth, a chance to find out what you really want out of life.
