Reviews

[Carl Williams · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was recommended by a friend, and although it's a clear and supportive overview of what grief looks like to other people it was not particularly helpful to me personally. Perhaps because I've done some work with hospice and understanding grief. Perhaps because my own grief was not specifically touched on. Anyway.

I'd recommend this book for a friend or supporter of someone grieving as it offers some philosophical and practical approaches.
