Grief Works

Julia Samuel

Is it strange to admit that this book was a joy to read in a way? If, like me, you are keen to understand more the experiences of those who have lived through the death of someone close, this secular book will prove an insightful read.

The author has 30 years of experience in bereavement counselling and writes with great care and compassion.
