Lugemine võib olla tähenduslik viis leina, kaotuse ja muutuse kogemuste uurimiseks. Kui me elame läbi midagi rasket, ei ole alati lihtne leida sõnu, et kirjeldada seda, mida tunneme. Raamatud võivad mõnikord aidata meil mõtestada tundeid, mis võivad näida segadusttekitavad, üle jõu käivad või raskesti selgitatavad. Lugemine tegelastest või inimestest, kes on kogenud kaotust, võib luua ka äratundmise ja ühenduse tunde, meenutades meile, et me ei ole ainsad, kes neid tundeid kogevad.
Raamatud võivad pakkuda erinevaid vaatenurki leinale ja näidata, et leinamiseks ei ole ühtainsat ega etteaimatavat viisi. Mõned lood keskenduvad otseselt lähedase kaotusele, teised aga käsitlevad selliseid teemasid nagu haigus, suhted, identiteet, muutus, lootus, armastus ja tähenduse leidmine pärast kaotust. Võid avastada, et samastud mõne tegelase, kindla olukorra või isegi lihtsalt ühe lausega, mis sõnastab midagi sellest, mida oled tundnud.
Teinekord ei pruugi sa aga üldse tahta leinale otseselt mõelda. Lugemine võib pakkuda ka ajutist põgenemist, võimaldades sul siseneda teise maailma ja teha pausi rasketest mõtetest ja tunnetest. Ka see võib olla sama väärtuslik. Sa saad ise valida, mida loed, millal loed ja kui palju soovid sellesse süveneda. Kui mõni raamat tundub liiga raske või toob esile tundeid, millega sa ei ole veel valmis silmitsi seisma, on täiesti okei lugemine katkestada ja selle juurde hiljem tagasi tulla või valida midagi muud.
Sellesse jaotisse valitud raamatud pakuvad erinevaid vaatenurki ja kogemusi, mis on seotud leina ja kaotusega. Uuri neid omas tempos ja vali lood, mis tunduvad sulle kõige tähenduslikumad, lohutavamad või asjakohasemad.

Robert A. Neimeyer · 1998
KreekaThe book offers a new perspective on loss for those who are grieving, as well as for the professionals who try to help them. The author argues that traditional views of grief are too superficial and simplistic, and develops a new understanding of grief as a process of “meaning reconstruction.” By using stories of real people who have faced significant loss, the book helps readers activate the personal and social resources required for adapting to loss. Finally, it examines different kinds of loss, such as separation or losing one’s job. The book is distinguished by its sensitivity and strong theoretical foundation.
