This was a nice book to read about grieving, with a human response to what occurs during and after loss. He personalizes the book by sharing stories about his loss. I gained the most from understanding the core concepts and reasoning behind what occurs during loss and comprehending them. Some losses are not understandable to us, and he offers information on finding resources to help us get through.
