LEARNING TO LAUGH WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE CRYING Embracing Life After Loss

Warmth and accessibility mark every minute of this conversational discussion by grief expert Allen Klein. It's an example of how a relaxed and sensitive narration by the very likable Marlin May can turn thoughtful writing into a healing experience. May's performance, as much as the author's sensibilities, allows this audio to touch the heart as it lays out the author's five stages of returning to happiness after losing someone close--losing, learning, letting go, living, and laughing. Illustrated liberally with memorable quotations, his insights are strengthened by his work as a hospice volunteer and his recovery from his own losses--dear friends and, earlier, his 34-year-old wife. It's a near perfect audio that should be a first-step resource after any major relationship loss. T.W. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2014]
