Good Grief:
Love, Loss and Laughter

By Gabriel Constans, Ph.D.

If you or someone you know, has, is or will be confronting the reality of loss (and who isn’t), you've come to the right place.  You’ve come to the right place for clarity, understanding, love and laughter.  The time to start healing is now.  The time to begin a new life and choose to look at your past experience with fresh eyes is now.

The prescription for what is gnawing at your guts, weighing heavily on your mind and breaking your heart, is already written.  I know you will find some of the ingredients you seek within these pages.
-- Leti Parnell, BA
Educator and Grief Counselor

Reviews for Good Grief: Love, Loss & Laughter

“I’ve worked in public health as an advisor to presidents and locally as a county health officer and hospice physician for over thirty years.  This is one of the most practical, useful and inspiring books about loss and mourning that I have ever read.  Anyone who works with grieving individuals would be well advised to have this down-to-earth personal collection available for their clients.” 
  -- Arnie Leff, MD, Medical Director, Mission Hospice

“Gabriel Constans has dedicated his professional life to being present to people walking the tender journey of grief.  In the past twenty-five years he has been a messenger of comfort, peace and safety for thousands of people.  Gabriel’s writings are a reflection of the knowledge and wisdom he has acquired along the way.”
  -- Charmiel Teresi, Coordinator, Center for Grief and Loss

“This is a book for every day people.  It isn’t flashy or complicated.  Real situations, honest reactions and effective support.  It doesn’t matter whether you are a parent, student, doctor, construction worker, counselor, secretary or homemaker.  These stories and solutions will surely bring you love, laughter and hope.”

The Penis Dialogues
Handle With Care

By Gabriel Constans, Ph.D.

After seeing the Vagina Monologues, Gabriel realized the value of a similar investigation into men's feelings about their penis and its influence on them and others. Men of various ages, occupations, sexual orientations and cultures talk about love, sex, relationships and painful, humorous and joyful moments with themselves and others. This book investigates and lays bare the facts, myths, experiences, misperceptions and stories of that part of men's bodies by which they are so often defined. It goes beyond the cliches, jokes and comparisons of male virility and power as men speak from the heart with honesty, curiosity, shock, bemusement and surprise.


What people have been saying about The Penis Dialogues:

“I was struck by this book’s humor, probing curiosity and genuine compassion.
-- Eve Ensler (Author of The Vagina Monologues)

“Constans has created a heads up, hands on exploration of the male member. It is both amusing and informative.”
-- James McElheron (Building Consultant and Supervisor)

“The book is an excellent starting point for men who have previously wondered about aspects of their sexuality, genitalia or whether or not they were “normal”.  Whilst much of the book is made up of men telling of their own experiences, the book also covers a range of penis health issues and a number of entertaining tales related from the penis’ point of view.”
-- www.altpenis.com

“The Penis Dialogues is an informative and funny book about the life of our penis and its affect on love, sex, relationships and our health. The book explores myths, clichés, and misconceptions in a funny and curious way.”
-- Gary Johnson (Publisher of Black Men in America)

“If you live in any city, you have probably seen THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES. Well, along comes THE PENIS DIALOGUE by Constans, published by Aslan publishing. Not only is it hugely funny, it provides so much information about this part of a guy's anatomy. Because there so many myths and misconceptions about what is good and what is bad, this book is reassuring and comforting, and you can even laugh at your penis and its idiosyncrasies. Ladies, do your partner a favour and give him this book.”
-- W Network, (Television network for Canadian women).

“Eve Ensler watch out! This is a funny yet interesting insight into the world of the penis. This book is mainly collections of short stories from men and their experiences with their penises. It is interesting for both men and women to see how the penis affects men’s lives and outlook on life. Look out for sections such as “women’s eye view”, “if your penis could talk”, “penis facts” and “sing along with dick”. A great read.”
-- Andrew Kelly, Library Technician, Healthy, Sexy & Wise, E-Newsletter, Volume 3, Issue 1, 2005 - Family Planning Association of Western Australia Inc. (FPWA).

-- Ellen Bass, co-author of The Courage to Heal
