This book provides a guide for grieving youth and adults as well as extensive descriptive lists of recommended professional literature resources. Grief caused by loss is both a very common human experience and a highly individualized one. For example, children experience a number of losses that are unique to their young age—such as sibling and parent death, adoption, or divorce—and should be given special consideration by professionals and parents helping them in these situations. For gay, lesbian, or cohabiting heterosexual couples that suffer the loss of a partner, societal standards often deny the survivors in these relationships the right to grieve. Helping Those Experiencing Loss: A Guide to Grieving Resources is a book like no other, supplying compassionate information for navigating the emotional distress that every man and woman will experience in their lifetime, as well as a comprehensive guide to the literature of bereavement and grieving. It explains the grieving process, interpreting the results of research on the topic in plain language and addressing specific groups: children, young adults, parents who have lost a child, adults who have lost spouses, and the aging population.

Not all monsters are born, some are made. Killing Carpathia was the first mistake. Informing her niece made it worse. Durabia meant a fresh start for Raye Bennett. One phone call destroyed all of that. Returning to American soil could send her back to prison for the rest of her life. Attending the funeral of a family member may be deadlier. Heaven and Hell change places in this romantic thriller where the poison is sweeter than the wine.

Just when I thought I had a grip on the dark world of The Crowned Syndicate, everything spun out of control. I'm in too deep with the most powerful guys at Crestmont University and they've become my protectors, my partners in the dangerous mafia underworld. We're bound by secrets and blood now. After a betrayal that nearly shattered us, we're picking up the pieces. The Syndicate are ready to fight to keep our empire from crumbling, and I'm right there at the heart of it all. But this fight is bigger than us. It's about loyalty, power, and a vendetta that could destroy everything we've built. We're up against the ropes, and trust is more fragile than ever. As we face down our enemies and stand our ground, I know one thing for sure—we might just end up saving each other in the process. This is a dark academia reverse harem with plenty of TWs. This takes place in an entirely fictional world set in the UK.
