Read to Heal

R. Hayden Smith Funeral Home has found through the years that people often want print resources to help them delve deeper into the subject of Death and Dying. A small pamphlet or brochure is often not enough. People want resources that speak more to their situations and emotional needs, not an advertisement trying to sell particular products or name brands.

It is for this reason that we recommend the Center for Loss Bookstore. It is the publishing house of the Center for Loss and Life Transition where Dr. Alan Wolfelt, a major voice in the contemporary psychology of death and dying, publishes his books.
A grief counselor and educator for more than twenty five years, Dr. Wolfelt has introduced many new ways to help the bereaved, including the concept that the need of grieving people is to be ‘companioned’ not ‘treated’.

From time to time, we hope to offer reviews from you and other sources of Dr. Wolfelt's books to keep you up to date on some of the latest helpful resources from Companion Press.

Best wishes as you, along with R. Hayden Smith Family of Funeral Homes, help people with their journey through grief.
