A grief survival manual

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has to make sense of living through this difficult time. It follows a timeline from the death time and assists the reader to make sense of what has had to be dealt with. The advice is practical yet lovingly given. The book covers all the situations that may have to be encountered; in my case the suicide of an adult son. I found the information helpful and comforting. As a family we have used it and found it invaluable for us all as we adjust to the sudden loss of a loved one. The authors have rendered 'normal' our responses to such a tragedy. Within that, we are not alone.

Helpful book

This book touched on a lot of helpful topics following the loss of a loved one. I gave the book as a gift to my mother when my father passed and she found some comfort and guideance from this selection.

Recommend for those grieving as well as those supporting others

I liked this book and would recommend it for anyone who has lost someone suddenly or for anyone who wants to understand what that person is going through. The authors speak from personal experiences and offer different perspectives on how people experience sudden loss. The book goes into the stages of grieving and then discusses how others are affected when they loose a parent, child, partner, sibling etc... The book includes exercises for dealing with the grieving process. There is also a workbook available with more tools for dealing with this type of loss.
