This book is a collection of true stories about losses that different anonymous people have experienced. Must be read by anyone who has suffered a loss of any sort. Many of the stories are about the loss experienced when a loved one dies or gets sick. Many of the stories are written by nurses who experience loss everyday -- loss of patients and seeing patients and their families suffering. I am a nurse and cannot recommend this book more highly to other nurses. Often this part of our job is overlooked and finally it has been given the attention it deserves. What a find! I'm so glad this book was written and I hope all nurses make a point of reading it. It will help you tremendously!

This book is totally awesome. I cannot say enough about how reading about others stories of grief and coping helps me to deal with grief issues in my own life. I think Florence Selder, the editor is a phenomenal woman for having the idea that gave birth to this book. I highly recommend this reading for health care professionals and laypersons.
