Book Synopsis Parental Death by : Michelle Shreeve
Download or read book Parental Death written by Michelle Shreeve and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to a recent U.S. census, approximately 2.5 million children under the age of eighteen have experienced the death of a parent. Losing a parent at such a young age can have devastating consequences. Beyond the grief children and young adults experience, they can be at risk for many negative outcomes, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress symptoms, as well as diminished self-esteem. Their academic success and relationships with others can also be adversely affected. For these young adults, help is not always easy to find. In Parental Death: The Ultimate Teen Guide, Michelle Shreeve offers a variety of ways in which young people can cope with this tough experience. In addition to outlining the universal difficulties of losing a parent, the author also points out the unique dynamics of specific losses--sons who lose fathers, daughters who lose mothers, sons who lose mothers, and daughters who lose fathers—and what those losses can mean for their future development. This book also identifies how the challenges of life without a parent can affect a young adult at different stages. Featuring real stories and quotes from teens about their experiences, this book shows young adults a variety of views about the death of a parent, and provides coping strategies that young people can call upon to help them through this difficulty. Parental Death: The Ultimate Teen Guide serves as a valuable resource for all teens, whether they are dealing with tragedy personally or are looking for ways to console friends or siblings.

You have lost someone you love and are trying to discover how to move forward, and possibly, who you are now. The Griefcase will help you do just that. Jason was handed his Griefcase, against his will, when his sixteen-year-old son died in a horrible car accident. His Griefcase was given to him by someone he didn't even know at the time, but Jason instantly understood he would carry it with him until the day he left this world behind. It was a heavy Griefcase, and so burdensome. It impacted Jason's life in every way, be it work, social events, and even at home. If he tried to move, it would hold him back, tripped him up, and was such an anchor on his life that it often frightened him. When he dared overcome his fears and look inside the Griefcase, he just wanted to slam the lid closed again. He saw a disorganized pile of manila folders strewn across the bottom of the case, each one labeled with different emotions, like shock, anger, guilt, and disbelief. Although he knew in his very soul he should face the contents inside, the confusion blocked out the solution for processing his grief. Come inside "The Griefcase" and learn the methods for sorting through the folders of corrosive emotions, and how to lighten your Griefcase so it becomes a cherished container of your loved one. You might be surprised to find out that when the Griefcase is lighter, there is room inside to toss in a pair of flip-flops and a bottle of suntan lotion. You will have earned a break...you loved one along with you in, "The Griefcase." Inside the book, "The Griefcase" you will find: The concept of the Griefcase How to Use the Griefcase Overcoming Male Ego in loss Human Nature/Nurture traits Our need to express emotions The vilest of emotions Your invisible Griefcase The Griefcase of others Taking your Griefcase to work ...And so much more Use The Griefcase to move forward towards wholeness and healing. Peace and purpose, R. Glenn Kelly

Book Synopsis Poetic Inquiry as Social Justice and Political Response by : Abigail Cloud
Download or read book Poetic Inquiry as Social Justice and Political Response written by Abigail Cloud and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume speaks to the use of poetry in critical qualitative research and practice focused on social justice. In this collection, poetry is a response, a call to action, agitation, and a frame for future social justice work. The authors engage with poetry’s potential for connectivity, political power, and evocation through methodological, theoretical, performative, and empirical work. The poet-researchers consider questions of how poetry and Poetic Inquiry can be a response to political and social events, be used as a pedagogical tool to critique inequitable social structures, and how Poetic Inquiry speaks to our local identities and politics. The authors answer the question: “What spaces can poetry create for dialogue about critical awareness, social justice, and re-visioning of social, cultural, and political worlds?” This volume adds to the growing body of Poetic Inquiry through the demonstration of poetry as political action, response, and reflective practice. We hope this collection inspires you to write and engage with political poetry to realize the power of poetry as political action, response, and reflective practice.

Book Synopsis A Gift of Love by : Linda Della Donna
Download or read book A Gift of Love written by Linda Della Donna and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like two chips in a cookie, Linda and Ed Sclier were rolling happily along in their marriage-only to have everything come undone when Ed was diagnosed with cancer. Less than a year later, he died, turning Linda's world upside down. In A Gift of Love, she narrates her grief journey, shares the highlights of the wonderful man she fell in love with and married, describes the love they shared, and tells about the woman she has become since her soul mate died. While tracing a golden thread of treasured memories, A Gift of Love shares the struggles of a dying man, his untimely death, and his widow's deepest sorrows. Telling the story of their lives and her sorrow with grace and honesty, Linda gives a step-by-step accounting of love, loss, and the celebration of her soul mate's end, while marking her new beginning. More than fulfilling the promise she made to her husband on his deathbed to write his story, this memoir teaches life's valuable lesson: when you lose a spouse, life goes on-and love does live forever. Most of all, it acts as a reminder that though life can change suddenly, each one of us possesses the power to decide to accept the unthinkable.
Download or read book DIY Citizenship written by Matt Ratto and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2014-02-07 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How social media and DIY communities have enabled new forms of political participation that emphasize doing and making rather than passive consumption. Today, DIY—do-it-yourself—describes more than self-taught carpentry. Social media enables DIY citizens to organize and protest in new ways (as in Egypt's “Twitter revolution” of 2011) and to repurpose corporate content (or create new user-generated content) in order to offer political counternarratives. This book examines the usefulness and limits of DIY citizenship, exploring the diverse forms of political participation and “critical making” that have emerged in recent years. The authors and artists in this collection describe DIY citizens whose activities range from activist fan blogging and video production to knitting and the creation of community gardens. Contributors examine DIY activism, describing new modes of civic engagement that include Harry Potter fan activism and the activities of the Yes Men. They consider DIY making in learning, culture, hacking, and the arts, including do-it-yourself media production and collaborative documentary making. They discuss DIY and design and how citizens can unlock the black box of technological infrastructures to engage and innovate open and participatory critical making. And they explore DIY and media, describing activists' efforts to remake and reimagine media and the public sphere. As these chapters make clear, DIY is characterized by its emphasis on “doing” and making rather than passive consumption. DIY citizens assume active roles as interventionists, makers, hackers, modders, and tinkerers, in pursuit of new forms of engaged and participatory democracy.

Book Synopsis Working with Loss and Grief by : Linda Machin
Download or read book Working with Loss and Grief written by Linda Machin and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'In a book that is replete with illustrative case studies, Linda Machin draws together the findings of a wide range of psychological and sociological theory and research in order to develop a way of thinking about grief and loss that is intelligible to ordinary mortals. Her Adult Attitude to Grief scale promises to be a useful tool by which problems can be identified and progress monitored' - Colin Murray Parkes, Honorary Consultant Psychiatrist to St. Christopher's Hospice Loss is a universal human experience. Supporting those who are grieving a significant life loss is a key role for many professionals in health and social care settings and is the focus in many voluntary organisations. Although there is an extensive literature on loss and bereavement, practitioners often struggle to see how to put theory into practice. Working with Loss and Grief provides a new model which makes clear connections between theory and practice. The 'Range of Response to Loss' model provides a theoretical 'compass' for recognising the wide variability in reaction to loss and the 'Adult Attitude to Grief' scale is a tool for 'mapping' individual grief and its change over time, providing an individual grief profile. Together these offer a framework for practitioners to: " Listen to stories of grief told by clients " Identify common patterns in grief; " Recognize individual difference in grief response " Assess the need for therapeutic intervention or support " Prompt therapeutic dialogue " Guide therapeutic focus " Appraise clients " Evaluate outcomes. Case examples show that the experience of grief is highly individual, but also capable of being understood in terms of general concepts. As such it is a valuable resource not only for practitioners and trainees in counselling and social work, but also for psychologists, doctors, nurses, and for researchers studying loss and grief. Dr Linda Machin is a Visiting Research Fellow of Keele University, having been a Lecturer in Social Work and Counselling at Keele. She established a counselling service for the bereaved in North Staffordshire and continues to work as a researcher, a hospice counsellor and a freelance trainer.
