Why read it?

The useful thing about this book is that it breaks down the different types of losses we can experience and examines those. Sibling loss, parental loss, loss of a child, etc. You can connect to your type of grief and learn specifics about how to manage it. It is also filled with compassion and wisdom from one of the grief experts in the world. 

From James' list on to get to grips with grief.

This book is a collection of stories that offers clear advice for anyone seeking comfort after loss. It talks about building new habits that can help you as you try to rebuild your life and contains personal stories of loss told with great compassion and sensitivity and I learned something from each and every one of them. I guess it helped me to not feel so alone and realise that there were others going through the same thing.
