Offering hope and useful suggestions to those grieving the loss of a loved one, this guide provides outlets for feelings of grief, anger, frustration, and disappointment. It is devoted to the unique grief suffered by the families and friends of persons killed suddenly and violently. This book provides self-affirming skills of emotional expression that will help get survivors well again.
I would recommend for anyone dealing with a tragic, sudden loss. It has helped me tremendously in trying to understand other family members and their trauma as well as my own.
I thought the book was better than the people who gave us "two weeks to grieve" the loss of my daughter's dad. He was killed in a terrorist attack-"It wasn't a murder," the agent told us, "it was a terrorist attack"-in Tower 1 of the World Trade Center. Based on what people were saying, I thought there was no WAY a book could steer me into any odder territories, so I picked it up.
