Hopeful Voyager is the first book to offer practical understanding and help to those facing stressful and ongoing loss through mental ill health. Lacking clarity and defying resolution, this kind of “ambiguous loss” results in complicated grief.If you or your family are affected by mental ill health, Hopeful Voyager will be a welcome companion on the journey, assisting you to: Understand the flow-on effects of mental ill health for those directly affected and those who care about them. Explore the relevance of “ambiguous loss” to your own experience. Develop strategies to manage the journey through such losses. These findings are based on Dr Kanthi Perera’s doctoral research. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . “Dr Perera’s groundbreaking work advances the theory of ambiguous loss by explaining previously unidentified stressors for those who experience mental ill health personally and for the families who care for them. Once people know the source of their stress, they can begin managing it.” —Professor Pauline Boss, Author of Loss, Trauma, and Resilience: Therapeutic Work with Ambiguous Loss (2006) “This information was like a lightbulb going “yes”….. It made me realise there is hope and that after many years of being in an ambiguous loss situation, I have actively been going in the right direction.” —Workshop participant
