Lessons from Literature - Stories Dealing with Death and Loss

Being curious, learning from all of our experiences, is one of our most pleasing traits as human beings. In this series we examine particular facets of ourselves and, with the aid of many classic authors, delve into characters and stories that not only entertain us, but inform us on how short stories can help us both deal and understand issues that touch and weave into our lives with the words and narratives of many wise talents. In this volume our literary friends offer their talents and stories to help us deal, and perhaps reconcile, our feelings of loss with the reality that the world moves on and we must too, however painful that process may seem and even become. 01 - Lessons From Literature - Stories Dealing with Death and Loss - An Introduction 2 - Where Love Is, God Is by Leo Tolstoy 3 - A Dead Woman’s Secret by Guy de Maupassant 4 - Mary Postgate by Rudyard Kipling 5 - The Altar of the Dead by Henry James 6 - The Mourner by Mary Shelley 7 - Misery by Anton Chekhov 8 - War by Luigi Pirandello 9 - The Casualty List by Winifred Holtby 10 - The Border Line by D H Lawrence 11 - A Complete Recovery by Barry Pain 12 - An Unexpected Reunion by Johann Hebel 13 - Them Others by Stacy Aumonier 14 - After the Funeral by Mary Butts 15 - The Dark Cottage by Mary Cholmondeley 16 - The Furnished Room by O Henry 17 - The Canary by Katherine Mansfield 18 - The Striding Place by Gertrude Atherton 19 - Since I Died by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps 20 - Silence by Leonid Nikolaevich Andreyev 21 - The Vendetta by Guy de Maupassant 22 - The General's Will by Vera Jelihovsky 23 - The Man Who Hated God by Winifred Holtby
