Book Review of The Mourning Handbook : The Most Comprehensive Resource Offering Practical and Compassionate Advice on Coping with All Aspects of Death and Dying

reviewed on + 43 more book reviews


This book does just what the title promises: it covers all aspects of grief from the moment you find out that you are going to loose someone to way after the actual lose. It has a very detailed Table of Contents and Index making it easy to find the information you desire and need without having to think too hard. Some of the chapters I found most useful came under the dealing with the complications of grief and those things that make your experience of mourning more difficult. But it also very thoroughly covers the very basics of what grieving is and will it ever end. It is not a poetically written comfort book, but it does present all necessary resources in a thoughtful way. Very appropriate to the subject.
