The Continuing Care Series

The Pain of Grief, The Reality of Grief, The Dimensions of Grief, The Journey of Grief

Fifth Edition

by Doug Manning

This unique series consists of four books designed to be sent/read during the first year of grief. They are written for the 3rd week, 3rd month, 6th month and 11th month following a death.

People who receive them tell us that each book spoke directly to their needs at the time as they walked their grief journey. What a wonderful way to tell someone that you remember and care about their loss all year long.

The four books come packaged together with mailing envelopes and a date card for recording when the books are to be sent. It is a perfect bereavement follow-up program for hospices, churches, care facilities, support groups and individuals and takes little time or administration.

A special note about this series:
This was Doug's first grief series, written specifically for the funeral profession to provide aftercare for the families they served. The series became so popular and well-received, and many hospices and churches and other organizations requested this series for their own use. So, Doug wrote The Special Care Series with the same timeline, the same approaches, but written for everyone outside the funeral profession. For over thirty years we have offered both series to our different customers.
     As some of you may be aware, sadly Doug left us in January of 2025 at the age of 92. However, during the year before he died, even as he dealt with health challenges, he had one goal—to update and refresh The Continuing Care Series. He worked on it until his final days.
     So, now it is time to consolidate the two series and offer The Continuing Care Series to all our clients and customers. This means we will be phasing out The Special Care Series and this will be our only aftercare series once that inventory is depleted. Please contact InSight if you have any questions.
