The Courage to Grieve
by Judy Tatelbaum
Having personally experienced the death of my only child seven
years ago, I continue to recommend this book to others as the most
helpful, validating, and poetic piece of work on the subject. No cliches,
no "how to's" ...just gentle compassion and whispers of hope
from someone who has obviously "been there" and survived
gracefully.
