Ellen Anmuth: This Week's Grief and Loss Advice - "The Language of Solutions®" by Ellen Anmuth MS, MSW, LCSW

Dear Readers,

I wanted to share links to my 2 articles below on Grief and Loss/Bereavement, because so many people are suffering after the death of a loved one. The first article is on the death of a friend, and the second article is on “Complicated Bereavement”.

Perhaps you could share them with a person who need some help.

Sincerely,

Ellen Anmuth, Licensed Psychotherapist and Genetic Counselor; Creator/Founder of “The Language Of Solutions” Self Improvement and Wellness Programs

(1) The Death of A Friend: A Journey With a Unique Footprint

This article describes the very unique aspects of the friendship bond, which may affect the grief process. The “Friendship Bond” is different from the family bond in many ways, and there is often a mirroring of the self that is lost when a friend dies. Here is the link:

(2) Coping With Death: What is Complicated Bereavement?

As a Licensed Psychotherapist who is also a Genetic Counselor, I specialized in Crisis Intervention and how to cope with complicated bereavements, such as the unexpected death of a child, or the death of a person due to conditions that may have been preventable. This article highlights the causes of complicated bereavements, including guilt, anger, unresolved issues and external events and situations that create complexity. The link is below.
