Written from the viewpoint of a grieving person, As Much Time as it Takes helps us sensitively navigate those awkward yet important moments of comforting those mourning the loss of a loved one. This unique book comforts the bereaved by articulating the overwhelming wave of emotions and supports the "support team" by helping them to avoid the clichés and find the right words at the right time.
