Clergy are in a natural position to help people who experience a variety of losses, including death, divorce, moves, and develop-mental transitions. Historically, clergy have been involved as supporters of the bereaved, yet many clergy say that their educa-tion lacked substantive teachings in this area of caring. This book is a response to this apparent need. While directed at clergy, anyone involved in this area of caregiving will find the contents of value.

This review is from: Death And Grief: A Guide For Clergy (Hardcover)
Everyone fears not having the right words to say. Wolfelt gives the reader the permission to not have the right words to say when helping a grieving person. His advice is "mouths closed; ears open; presence available." Marvelous advice!
