EXCERPT OF CHAPTER 3

The Receding Sea

The wave has done its worst, and what is left in its wake is an irrevocably changed beach, where you may find yourself walking in totally unfamiliar territory. During this time, navigating your way round the changed landscape of your life can feel impossible, overwhelming and desperately difficult.

EXCERPT OF CHAPTER 10

For Those Supporting The Bereaved


We know that small things can make a huge difference. Can you be brave enough to be the one who steps towards the bereaved, acknowledge their loss and offer warmth, love and practical help? Are you able to hold their gaze for just a few seconds longer to demonstrate your solidarity alongside them, in their grief? In that moment, you are showing them that you can endure their pain, instead of acting on an urge to fix it or take it away.
