Very good.

Though "Living with Grief: Loss in Later Life" was a dry read, I appreciated the straight-forward statistics and facts presented about death, risks, and care for senior citizens. The book is organized well, so the reader can pick and choose chapters that relate to their topics of interest.

This book is starting off very well. It's clear and exploring grief and mourning for children and adolescents with consideration of child/social development.
