Today we no longer authorize ourselves to grieve after the loss of a loved one. We pass through it in silence, trying to stifle the pain, with more or less success. However, grief is a legitimate scar. After the trauma of death, a process begins whose complexity is preferable to know in order to promote calm.

With the help of numerous examples, Dr. Christophe Fauré, a psychiatrist specializing in palliative care, explains how to do this "work of mourning", which varies according to the nature of the relationship with the deceased and the circumstances of the death. Describe the different stages of grief, analyze the feelings (anger, guilt, depression ...) that invade the mourner, and answer the questions that we are often afraid to say out loud:

- "Dueling" is forgetting?

- How long does it take to enjoy life again?

- Will we ever be able to live as before?

- Is it normal to feel guilty?

- Why does the pain keep coming back?

- Should the pain be hidden or is it better to express it?

- Can others understand and share?

- How to support those who suffer?

This very interesting psychological guide, aimed at those in mourning and their environment, helps to better understand grief and the feelings it generates, and allows accompanying those who suffer, bringing true consolation to their pain.
