Adults with mental retardation often grieve the loss of their loved ones. However, many times this grief goes unnoticed, without tears, and individuals are never given the chance to express their grief and recover from the death of those close to them. This special guide designed for professionals, will help give these adults that chance.
The book first covers background information on the universal grief process, then addresses grief issues specific to the mentally retarded adult population. Next, it provides practical guidelines for interacting and providing support. Also, a unique feature of the book is the original artwork of adults with mental retardation working through the grief process.
This text was written in response to questions from family members and staff who are looking for concrete ideas that they can use to support someone who is grieving. The book is written to present general information on the grieving process, outline features unique to adults with mental retardation who are grieving and provide concrete ideas that can be useful to grief-stricken adults with mental retardation.
