Butterfly - Anthony T Vento - Bog

This book was written form a Christian perspective, and meant to be a guide to therapists who work with people who have lost one or more of their loved one though a traumatic and/or tragic event.
Inspired by the true events depicted by the documentary movie "Wings of Hope," "Butterfly Stages of Grief" is a gripping and emotionally charged account of how the sole survivor of a tragic event such as an airplane crash would deal with a tragedy of that magnitude.
For the sake of privacy, contextual interest and textual flow, I have changed the name of the sole survivor and did not stick 100% to chronological and/or factual events, so the book is partly fictional, and partly factual.
Using the various life stages of a butterfly as a metaphor, the struggle of Sami (not her real name) to overcome her grief over the loss of her mother is depicted highlighting the various stages of grief, working from the initial (egg) stage to the ultimate (mating) stage of a butterfly. Each stage has been assigned to a corresponding stage of the 'five stages of grief' according to the 'Kübler-Ross Model' of grief therapy. The Kübler-Ross model, usually referred to as the 'Five Stages of Grief, was first presented by. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her book, On Death and Dying, which was published in 1969.
Note that the stages depicted in this method of grief counseling are not necessarily treating in a linear fashion from stage one (denial) to Stage five (acceptance) since, according to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, any of the stages can take place at any time.
This book is meant to serve as a testimony to the strength of the human heart, illuminating the transformative power of hope, healing, and the enduring bond between a mother and her daughter, even after the tragedy of a permanent separation via death
It is written as a self-help guide to people going through the stress of losing a loved one, and to help such a person overcome grief and be able to step back into life.
