Overview

The Grief Kaleidoscope is a unique and moving reflection on the journey through grief. With thought-provoking insights and gentle suggestions, grief counsellor Su-Rose McIntyre draws upon her own experience of the loss of her son, as well as her professional training, as she explores the deep landscape that is the grieving process. She does this creatively and sensitively through story, poem, and image. The individual reflections are each followed by a practical task and a 'gentle tip', and are designed to be read and reflected on until the reader is ready to move on to the next section. The Grief Kaleidoscope will be a source of comfort and strength to anyone who has lost someone close to them. This book is different. Very different. We see a fresh perspective on grief. It's like a stray cat - let it in, don't shut it out. It's like a backpack - it weighs a tonne. It's like a pebble in your shoe - it won't be cast out. Su-Rose McIntyre gives grievers much to think about and valuable lessons to learn as they navigate their way through the maze of grief. - Doris Zagdanski, author of Teenagers and Grief, Now that the Funeral is Over, and other books on grief The Greif Kaleidoscope is a book designed to accompany those in grief on their individual journeys.
