This new book is an excellent resource both for those affected by the death of someone close and for those seeking ways to help with kindness and compassion.
The multiple dimensions of grief are explored with wise guidance from the authors but also the words of those who have themselves trodden the path of loss. The bereaved may come to know they are not alone in their journey through grief. The shared experiences can help make sense of the apparently senseless.
The book is illustrated in a way that beautifully supports the intention of helpfulness. Sometimes following a death, reading is too difficult, concentration too scattered and resting our attention on a meaningful image is all one can manage.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book and wish the authors well in their mission to ease the suffering of grief.
