  <default_description>This book is a coping instrument: a collection of inspirational reflections on navigating through the rough waters which accompany the grieving and mourning process. It contains research, reflections, recommendations, realities and reassurances for those who face the loss of a loved one. Psychologist Dr. Stanley Giannet's masterfully penned insight takes readers on an engaging, deeply moving exploration of the grief and mourning process. Love is Stronger Than Death is a soulful, eloquent invitation to embrace the unconquerable power of love as the primary vehicle for overcoming the anguish that accompanies our losses.</default_description>
