About this title.

'Out of sight but not out of mind' In this book, on coping with grief, Kath Beattie states that 'Continuing bonds with the deceased is about carrying the 'loved one' in our hearts as we journey on without them.' 'Loss,' she says, 'is forever, but maintaining a relationship ...albeit a very changed relationship...with the deceased is a normal and therapeutic response to that loss.' The bereaved seldom cut off from the past as if it never existed. 'Our past and those who are, or have been significant to us, live eternally within us. That is why we find the journey without them so painful.' Beattie quotes the playwright Robert Anderson: 'Death ends a life but not a relationship' 'Walking backwards Into Your Future' is a powerful, helpful and imaginative text for anyone suffering grief or working with those experiencing 'loss'. It records and uses the experiences of several bereaved, 'for who better to tell us than those experiencing the pain.' 'He's part of us all, he's just not here.'
