Literary resources for bereavement.
The bereavement process can be aided by multiple resources. Hospice counselors and related therapeutic professionals turn most easily to their own disciplines and training. In this article, complementary or ancillary resources from literature have been offered. If healing includes the "storying" and "restorying" of lives, then literature can enrich and facilitate the mourning process. Suggestions of resources and some of their connections to hospice care have been offered.
