First, modern medical practices have changed the process of dying and as a result, the stages of grieving the loss of a loved one have changed too. Co-Authors Dr. Joseph Nowinski and Dr. Barbara Okun have explained what families can expect throughout this process in the book, "Saying Goodbye: How Families Can Find Renewal through Loss".
Then, in her memoir, "In Her Wake", child psychologist Nancy Rappaport grapples to understand why her mother would take her own life. Through many interviews with family members and friends, Nancy learns of her mother's conflicted and troubled socialite status in prominent Boston politics and grapples with what would cause someone to commit suicide. Nancy also walks us through her own journey of grief and loss to eventual healing.
Barbara Okun, Joseph Nowinski and Nancy Rappaport, this week on Prime Time Radio.
