An important topic

I picked up this book for a required course reading, but am so glad that I did. The topics addressed are all relevant for anyone with family and friends. The book helps you address grief head-on-- It doesn't tip toe around the difficult topics. The book helped make me a more supportive listener for my patients, but also a better person for myself.
