This is a very handy book for bereaved parents, particularly because it consists of little one-page writings that are easy to get through. You can flip to any page. A bereaved parent is typically not up to doing any reading (or anything) that requires sustained concentration, and as such, this little gem is perfectsomething that can be held onto and easily referred to through the horrid journey of navigating life after the death of a child. Very good little book.. The suggestions are short and the format makes it easy to dip into the book anywhere I've ordered several of this series, and find it to be helpful. I'm not actually at the place where I need it, but my mom is 97--and it is inevitable. I bought it to see if it would be worthwhile to give copies to my siblings at the time of my mom's death. I think that I will do so. It is not a hard read. The suggestions are short and the format makes it easy to dip into the book anywhere.
