Mysterious Moments: Thoughts That Transform Grief - Softcover

"Dr. Williams, a gifted therapist and storyteller, uses the narratives of families to unpack an understanding of the grieving process and coping with loss. Her powerful writing illustrates how emotional connections made at unexpected times forge healing in the face of complicated mourning. The stories teach the reader both how to cope and how to approach helping others without taking a didactic stance, but rather with warmth and understanding. I highly recommend it."

"Beautifully written personal stories of grief and unexpected healing through moments that give new perspectives for each particular loss. Sure to offer both insight and hope to those who grieve and those who support them."

"Clinical psychologist Dr. Jane Williams succeeds brilliantly in bringing to a broad audience a profound gift in sharing representative stories of “mysterious moments” that have brought healing to a diverse array of bereaved persons: parents, siblings, children, and clinicians.  Its brief stories are clear, compelling, full of realistic details, and make the reader want to finish them in one sitting."
