Books, videos, articles, and more recommended by Elena Vasquez, LPC.
The Year of Magical Thinking
by Joan Didion
The most honest account of grief I have ever read. I recommend this to clients who feel their grief is too intense or too strange.
Man's Search for Meaning
by Viktor Frankl
The foundation of meaning-centered therapy. Frankl's account of finding meaning in suffering is unlike anything else.
Modern Loss
Modern Loss
Personal essays on grief that resist tidy resolution. A good landing place when the cultural script does not fit.
A Monster Calls
J. A. Bayona · 2016
A film about anticipatory grief and the contradictions of loving someone who is dying. I recommend it cautiously, when a client is ready.
