Comments: Gift condition. Trade paperback from Fairview Press, this is When Men Grieve: Why Men Grieve Differently and How You Can Help by Elizabeth Levang (Paperback - Dec 25, 1998). Ever wonder why men grieve so differently from women? Wives who are going through their own grief process for a dead loved one often find their spouse's responses much, much different than their own. This can exacerbate an already difficult situation -- research shows that many married couples separate or divorce by the second anniversary of the death of a child. This book is written for women, about men, the author knowing that women are more likely to seek out information about the grieving process than men. An excellent book all around. This copy is almost new, it was read gently once if at all. Clean and tight, like new. « if ( document.getElementById ) { document.writeln('Show less'); }

As someone who loves to take care of people - espeically men, this book has been incredibly helpful. Men greive very differently than women, but still tend to look to women for help. This book is a MUST OWN for any woman who has a man who they love/take care of.

One of the few books that explain how men grieve differently than women

When Men Grieve explains how men's grief differs from women's grief. If you want to understand your male spouse, brother or father's emotions or behaviors during grief, When Men Grieve might provide needed perspective especially since men are fixers and can't fix grief which affects their ability to deal with it. I would also recommend learning about this difference by attending a Griefshare program in your local community that also addresses this issue and other grief issues.

Just starts to hit the surface

This book has some touching true life stories in it and it does make some good points but it doesn't dive deep enough for me. I wanted to walk away with more "action items" that I could incorporate with my husband as he grieves. It was worth my time to read this but I just wanted a bit more instruction.

Good book, primarily to help women understand men's grief
Rating  (4)
Date: 2006-08-25
Honestly I think this is a helpful book in that after over 14 months I hadn't even cried hardly at all, and reading one of the stories in the book I cried for like a minute or two - so it was helpful inthat way for me.
But honestly I think this book is primarily for women and it really I think is helpful for women to understand men. It's a good book. But I don't think this book is that helpful for Men who are going through grief.
It's a good book, but it's more for helping women understand men, than helping men to heal, but for that it's an excellent book.

Excellent book for explaining how men go through the grief process. Very helpful hints on how to help them. According to a male friend who I loaned this book, it's the best he has read and the most helpful.
