Nothing Left Unsaid: Words to Help You and Your Loved Ones Through the Hardest Times

by Carol Orsborn

Saying the wrong thing in a delicate situation is a widespread fear. It's difficult for most people to find the right words when confronted with life's most troubling illness or death of a loved one. Many self-help books deal with the aftermath of death, but in Nothing Left Unsaid Carol Orsborn provides counsel to those caring for a dying or seriously ill loved one. Speaking from personal experience, she helps readers find the words for what they really want to say and gives them questions to consider while there's still time. The book is divided into three stories, poems, and prayers/ processes and rituals/ and questions for conversation.

After the loss of my daughter and then of my grandparents it was hard to know what to say to the rest of my family who were grieving as well as understand it myself. This book helped.
