When Jean Baird's daughter, Bronwyn, died suddenly, Jean's instinct was to turn to books. Although she found that the thoughts…

on alchemy. First was blackening, which strips down lead to its original alloys and corresponded to her initial phase of disorienting grief. Then the whitening stage, which purifies the metal, was when new routines took hold and she started feeling as though she might make it, and lastly came reddening, when the base metal turns to pure gold, which corresponded to Carter's own enlightenment. Some descriptions of sex. 2008.

Self help, Death and bereavement
Human-narrated audio

Après le décès soudain de son mari, Sheryl Sandberg était certaine que ni elle ni ses enfants ne pourraient de…

nouveau être heureux. J'étais dans un "néant", écrit-elle, un vide abyssal qui envahit votre coeur et vos poumons puis limite votre capacité à penser et même à respirer. Son ami Adam Grant, psychologue à Wharton, lui a expliqué qu'après un traumatisme nous traversons des étapes pour s'en remettre et renaître. La résilience n'est pas innée : c'est un muscle que tout le monde peut développer. Option B combine l'expérience de Sheryl et les recherches d'Adam sur la façon de faire face à l'adversité. Racontant le moment déchirant où elle trouve son mari, Dave Goldberg, étendu sur le plancher d'une salle de sport, Sheryl ouvre son coeur - et son journal - et met des mots sur le chagrin et l'isolement ressentis après son décès. Mais Option B va bien au-delà du deuil de Sheryl ; par le biais de nombreux témoignages, il explore la façon de surmonter les tragédies de la vie. Ces histoires révèlent la capacité de l'esprit humain à persévérer... et à redécouvrir la joie. La résilience vient du plus profond de notre être et du soutien que l'on trouve autour de nous. Même après les événements les plus terribles, il est possible de grandir en trouvant un sens plus profond à notre vie. 2017.

Roughly half the bereaved population, about 20% of those near death who recover, and an unreported number of the dying,…

witness or experience a sensed presence, the mystery of near-death awareness, and, if they are not in horrible pain or medicated into unconsciousness, rationally inexplicable feelings of transcendence and grace as they depart from this life. Sparked by extraordinary experiences that occurred in her own family when her father and her sister both died in 2008, Patricia Pearson shares with us her journey of investigation into these mysterious but strangely comforting phenomena. c2014.

By Raymond A Moody, Alessia Weil. 2016

et à des événements qui sont aussi Inintelligibles que dénués de sens... La notion de vie après la mort est-elle intelligible ? Quelle est la probabilité que l'esprit survive au corps physique ? Comme vous le découvrirez dans ce livre fascinant, la question de l'après-vie ne cesse de stimuler les enquêtes et les débats rationnels, mais comme s'attache à le démontrer l'auteur, le vrai non-sens consisterait à penser que la vie après la vie n'existe pas. 2016.
