 I often wake up after a couple of hours of sleep and can't fall back to sleep again. That's when they start. The feelings of guilt that I have regarding my spouse's death start playing over and over again in my head. During the day, they are not as bad if I keep real busy. But, at night, wow! Unbearable! What can I do to stop these thoughts? Help!

• When a Man Faces Grief acknowledges that there is a difference between the way men and women handle the process of grieving the loss of a loved one. This portion describes the characteristics of masculine grief through twelve short chapters and prompts the bereaved man to "identify your own path through grief."  The authors also explain that masculine characteristics of grief are manifested by women, and similarly, men do adopt feminine characteristics in their healing process.

 As a Bereavement Coordinator, I am honored to work with amazing caregivers. They tell their stories of diagnoses, treatment, and eventual death of their loved (and sometimes not-so-loved) ones. Because they have been so focused on caring for others, sometimes for decades, it is no wonder that in grief, they may have a difficult time identifying how they feel and what they need.
