Trade Review"[Susan Wallbank] writes with great insight and compassion, yet deals with the sensitive and often complex aspects of grief in a direct style which makes this book very readable." Cruse Chronicle "A very clearly set-out compendium of wisdom on all aspects of dealing with a death of someone close ... Altogether a very useful tool ..." European Christian Bookstore Journal "All counsellors would greatly benefit from reading this handbook and having it available for reference ... Its practical advice goes far beyond the good publications which are available on 'what to do when someone dies'." Christian Herald
