Mourning in Absence - Manual for leaders, is a guide for people who are called to guide and accompany those who have suffered the loss of a loved one. The purpose of the accompaniment is to stay by the side of the person who has suffered a loss, listen to their pain and validate it: give them time for emotional expression. Thus, the leader offers a very propitious framework of openness, understanding and acceptance so that the mourner can freely walk their own path, with an adequate guide that helps them to correctly elaborate the mourning process.
