“The most comprehensive, insightful, and helpful volume on loss and survival.”—Rabbi Dr. Earl A. Grollman, author of Living When a Loved One Has Died
Mourning the death of a loved one is a process all of us will go through at one time or another. But wherever the death is sudden or anticipated, few of us are prepared for it or for the grief it brings. There is no right or wrong way to grieve; each person's response to loss will be different. Now, in this compassionate, comprehensive guide (previously published as Grieving), Therese A. Rando, Ph.D., bereavement specialist and author of Loss and Anticipatory Grief, leads you gently through the painful but necessary process of grieving and helps you find the best way for yourself.
Whether the death was sudden or expected, from accident, illness, suicide, homicide, or natural causes, Dr. Rando will help you learn to:
• Understand and resolve your grief.
• Talk to children about death.
• Resolve unfinished business.
• Take care of yourself.
• Accept the help and support of others.
• Get through holidays and other difficult times of the year.
• Plan funerals and personal bereavement rituals.
There is no way around the pain of loss, but there is a way through it. Dr. Rando offers the solace, comfort, and guidance to help you accept your loss and move into your new life without forgetting your treasured past.

She is the Clinical Director of The Institute for the Study and Treatment of Loss, which provides mental health services through psychotherapy, training/education, supervision, and consultation, and specializes in: loss and grief; traumatic stress; and the psychosocial care of persons with physical injury, serious acute medical conditions, or with chronic, life-threatening, or terminal illness, and their loved ones. Dr. Rando has consulted, conducted research, provided therapy, written, and lectured internationally in areas related to loss, grief, illness, injury, dying, death, bereavement, disaster, and trauma.

This is a multi-disciplinary team of experienced and licensed professionals, which provides outpatient mental health services to adults, adolescents, and children around a wide variety of psychological, behavioral, social, and physical issues and adjustment concerns.
Current professional foci include treatment of complicated mourning; loss of a child; the interface between posttraumatic stress and grief; anticipatory mourning; specialized intervention techniques in the treatment of traumatic bereavement; the integration of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into intervention with grief and mourning; self-help after traumatic loss; and stress reactions of first responders.
Dr. Rando holds a doctoral degree in Psychology from the University of Rhode Island and has received advanced training in psychotherapy and in medical consultation-liaison psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University Medical School and University Hospitals of Cleveland.

Since 2016, Dr. Rando has been the Clinical Director of The Traumatic Loss Seminar, an intensive four-day intervention for first responders coping with personal traumatic loss. It addresses their traumatic bereavement through the use of trained peer support; large and small group work; education about trauma, loss, coping, meaning making, self-medication issues, and family relationships; therapeutic ritual; medical massage; and personal one-on-one consultation with licensed mental health therapists familiar with law enforcement and public safety issues, posttraumatic stress, and the trauma recovery method of EMDR.
