April – Book of the Month

For the bereaved and those wanting to support them

‘Surviving The Tsunami Of Grief’ by Katrina Taee and Wendelien McNicoll

Are you grieving? Would you like to have a better understanding of grief? Are you wanting to support someone who is grieving but don’t know how? This beautifully illustrated book written by two experienced Bereavement Practitioners is unlike any other book about grief. Each page takes you on a thought-provoking journey, each image echoed by the voiced of bereaved people. As thoughts, feelings and experiences are shared, you may recognise your own voice creating a new image to add to these powerful images. It can be read in one go or dipped into chapter by chapter as needed, either way it offers understanding, wisdom and hope during this time of mourning.

“This a really helpful book, and one that you don’t need to read in one sitting as you can just read the sections that resonate with you at the time. It’s broken into sections like ”The Cause of the Tsunami’ , ‘ The Powerful Surge of the Incoming Waves’ and ‘The New Normal’ to name just a few – there will be something for everyone. The illustrations and use of colour is really powerful as well. “
Lucy Coote – Rosedale’s Community Ambassador and Bereavement Support Group Facilitator in Suffolk

Review

“This book is a treasure” – Dr Kathryn Mannix, author of With The End In Mind

“This is the perfect book for people who are experiencing grief. Grief is such a visceral, physical experience, it can be really hard to read anything, cover-to-cover. This book takes this into account and offers a very digestible account of what grief can feel like and how it ebbs and flows. The professional experience of the authors shines through on every page – they know what they’re talking about. No sign of toxic positivity, just real-life grounded, experience.

I love this book, well done K and W, such a wonderful resource for the broken-hearted griever who needs some stepping stones. As a Grief Therapist, I have purchased several copies for my clients.” Liz Gleeson, Shapes Of Grief Podcast & Training Programme
