Customer Reviews

Not very exciting!
Although this book presents a number of research findings about grief and is a classic text in the area of bereavement the writing style is dry and not hugely inspiring.

Even in grief there is a pattern
We never expect the ones we love to ever leave us. But if they do with support from friends and family we can make it through.
This book shows that even in the dragedy of grief there is a pattern.
We are not alone, not the only ones, many people have been here before. No great jargon here - just some straight talking. Some help to work out where you are at - that you are not going mad - that grief has stages we must go through and work hard to go forward.
