When we work with a bereaved client, we will find their loved one died suddenly or after a terminal illness. If it's the latter, then he or she will have experienced Anticipatory Grief. For the Grief Practitioner, it is essential to have a good grasp of the unique dynamics, nuances and challenges of Anticipatory Grief so that they can better understand what their client has been through.

The Podcast is aimed at those individuals - counsellors, therapists, coaches, grief guides, and listeners - who are working with the bereaved regularly. The focus here is on the bereaved person who has lost their 2nd parent and, in so doing, become an Orphan - an Adult Orphan! It looks at some of the additional layers of loss and grief that they may experience, in addition to the painful grief they are experiencing for the loss of their loved one.

This Podcast covers how we can use fictional books - which encompass the themes of death, dying, loss and grief - to help bereaved children and young people understand and, then, express their grief after a loved one has died. It explains about the role of the Bibliotherapist, who can be a Bibliotherapist, how to assess a book for its suitability for Bibliotherapy, and offers 35/40 books for a bibliotherapist's recommended book list.
