Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Schiff's new book is broader in scope than her Bereaved Parent ( LJ 3/15/77). It gets a plus for acknowledging all mourners: the spouse, children, siblings, other family members, and a group generally omittedfriends. Included are all the topics found in other books dealing with death and dyingsorrow, denial, anger, guilt, depression, and acceptanceas are the issues of powerlessness and the uses of faith. Throughout, Schiff's strong belief in faith is visible but not overpowering. The final section of the book is a brief guide for support groups. Useful for both mourners and support group facilitators, the book is recommended for public and medical libraries. Jean E. Crampon, Southern Illinois Univ. Sch. of Medicine, Springfield

This review is from: Living through Mourning (Paperback)
I recommend this book highly. The advice is gentle and sound. No preaching. Those who are non-religious and those who are will find it helpful. Each stage of grief is explained. It would be excellent for anyone helping a friend or family member through this process.

Sound advice in sorrow......,
By A Customer
This review is from: Living through Mourning (Paperback)
I found this book in the library shortly after my husband died. For me it was a God-send. It offered a frank perspective of how I was feeling and that I was, and would be okay. There was something in this book for everyone...relatives, friends. It let me know that I was not the only one who was grieving. It explained how others felt and shared in my loss. Whenever I know someone has lost a loved one, it's the first thing I share...telling all how it helped me. I've given copies of the book to friends....suggest that churches, bereavevement groups provide to those in need. This book was a life-saver!
