Description

By Carolyn S. Bowling and Jeffrey W. Wilder

Grief, loss, bereavement for people with intellectual disabilities is a subject of growing concern. There was a time when it was believed that people with disabilities didn’t have the insight, the capacity or the right to grieve. More and more, however, the issue of loss is evident in the lives of those with disabilities. This book aims at providing the reader with insight into the issue of grief for those in care as well as teaches approaches to compassionately support an individual with a disability suffering a loss.

The book has an incredible wit, and even humour, as it uses examples and stories to teach.
