Living with Grief®: Improving Care for Veterans Facing Illness and Death is the companion book (ISBN: 978-1-893349-16-2) to the 2013 Living with Grief program and examines the impact that the military experience can have on veterans who are dying or facing grief and loss. (246 pages) 

Improving Care for Veterans Facing Illness and Death is designed to assist end-of-life care provider organizations and health and human service professionals in enhancing their sensitivities and understanding of veterans and to provide professionals with new interventions to better serve dying veterans and their families. Particular attention is placed on veteran generations now aging and most likely to be seen in end-of-life care (WWII, Korean War, Vietnam). In addition to individual interventions, the program also will look organizationally at military benefits and intersections with VA systems. Finally, the program explores the traditions and sensitivities of grieving families and resources that can assist them.

Grieving people may experience surprising and unsettling emotions after a death including jealousy, guilt and shame. This webinar offers interventive strategies to help grieving individuals recognize, validate, and resolve such complicated reactions.

A collection of articles from leading grief experts about love, life and loss. Provides self-help tips for those who are grieving and guidance about what to expect following a loss. Articles address topics including loss of a spouse, child, or partner; grief during the holidays; suggestions for moving forward after a loss, and more.

The anniversary of a loved one's death is a difficult time. The Journeys Anniversary issue helps us to understand why this is normal and that society's expectation that a year is sufficient time to recover from a loss is unrealistic.

The issue is available as a single issue or in packs of 50 or 100. Organizations such as hospitals, churches and hospices have used Journeys Special Issues to support and inform their community.

This special issue of Journeys is a sensitive introduction to caregiving and hospice care. It answers questions such as: How does someone take care of him or herself while caring for a dying loved one? How can a family member or friend find hope after a loved one has entered hospice care?

The issue is a helpful supplement to your organization's introductory literature and is also appropriate for family or friends of hospice patients who are experiencing hospice care for the first time.
