About the Authors.

"Exploring the all too often unreported reveries of the
bereaved, this pioneering volume reveals how the spiritual and
psychological elements of grief dreams can assist through the
circuitous journey through the 'valley of the shadow.'
And it does so with both understanding and a profound sense of
consolation."--Rabbi Earl A. Grollman, author, Living When
a Loved One Has Died

"This book is a rare find--one that both clinicians
and bereaved persons will find not only thoughtful but helpful.
This book is a wonderful gift that expands our knowledge of the
experiences that arise as we mourn." --Kenneth J. Doka,
professor, the College of New Rochelle, and senior consultant, the
Hospice Foundation of America

"In Grief Dreams T. J. Wray and Ann Back Price have
written a sensitive, intelligent guide for people who are grieving
the death of a friend or family member and who want to learn more
about the strange dreams they are experiencing. Grief Dreams
is a trustworthy companion in the mourning process."--Kelly
Bulkeley, former president, the Association for the Study of
Dreams, and author, Visions of the Night and The
Wilderness of Dreams

"Beautifully written and eminently practical, Grief
Dreams is a groundbreaking healing resource for anyone who has
experienced the death of a loved one. A wonderful and consoling
guide to the world of dreams and how they help us move through
bereavement."--Tom Golden, LCSW, author, Swallowed by a
Snake: The Gift of the Masculine Side of Healing, and creator
