It's a really great book even if you're not dealing with someone who is dying, but it really helps me realize some of my flaws as a listener and how I'm not putting people in amazing situations when getting through rough conversations, I really love this book.

This was a very helpful book. Some of it seemed obvious to me, but definitely a good guide.

Beautifully written by Buckman. His compassionate nature comes through the book easily. Articulate and heartfelt, this book is a treasure to all those who must deal with death. Just happens to be all of us.

I read so many books on death and dying when I found out my mom was dying of cancer. This one opened my eyes to her feelings and was a great help to me.
