The book assisted me to recognize the various stages of grief and the importance of working through the various processes necessary.

I enjoyed the simple terms and the easy to understand real life examples displayed throughout the manuscript.

My first impression was non-belief that a book like this was needed since I thought that professionals understood this process of traumatic grief. After reading the book I realized the lack of knowledge by most mental health professionals was staggering. The majority of these professionals truly do not understand the grieving process of traumatic death.

I am thrilled that this work has been completed and would encourage ALL professionals including law enforcment and legal support staffs to read and use this materials in their daily work.

Anyone who has suffered such a loss is not able to recognize the quality of the professional that they seek out in such horrible times. It is unfair to represent ALL mental health professionals as qualified to deal with such tragedies.

More and more today with the increase of sudden violent attacks and murders this material should be used as a "TEXT BOOK" for the field of mental health. I strongly recommend use of this material.
