This is an amazing book of guidance and technical information that parallels the author's journey through his own experiences coping with loss and grief. The technical information covers something about all the steps of grief, from finding out about the loss or imminent loss of a loved one, through the funeral planning, writing and delivering the eulogy, and taking care of yourself and your surviving loved ones afterward. The book also covers important legalities, diet tips for stressful times, recognizing signs, and touches on the science of grief and of course, faith. There’s a lot of information but it reads so effortlessly because the touching story of the author authenticates the recommendations every step of the way. I loved the virtual "first aid kit" at the end full of free resources to help you through any aspect of grief. I highly recommend this book to anyone, young or old, who is looking for some advice in advance, or assurance of their own circumstances dealing with grief.
