A friends dies. What do you say to comfort his family? How do you overcome your own grief after the passing of a loved one? David Kessler, top grief expert and co-author with the late Elizabeth Kübler-Ross of On Grief and Grieving, explains: "Grief is the reflection of the love we share in life. This book [Turning Grief into Gratitude] brilliantly walks with us in our grief and helps us hang on to that love." "Rabbi Reuven Bulka," adds Kessler, "has given us a personal, compassionate and helpful look into the world of grief." After over 35 years of consoling and counseling mourners as a rabbi and psychologist, Rabbi Dr. Reuven P. Bulka takes you on an insightful journey through the intricacies of his grieving following the death of his parents, and illustrates how one can help oneself and others to turn grief into gratitude, and offers practical advice on what to do and say to a mourner, thereby easing a lot of the awkwardness many of us face in such situations.
