Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Men have been accused of being incapable of grieving when, in truth, says writer/speaker Chethik, they have not been allowed to do so. Billed as a counterpart to Hope Edelman's superior Motherless Daughters, FatherLoss features up-close-and-personal profiles of father-son relationships, drawing on the author's national survey of 300 men and interviews with 70 others. Grieving, Chethik says, is part of the unique relationship between sons and fathers; it is highly subjective and dependent on the son's age at the time of his father's death. Chethik also studies how celebrities like Michael Jordan and Ernest Hemingway handled their fathers' deaths. Although well written, this book reads like a series of stretched-out human-interest articles, and the author's advice is buried in long passages. All in all, FatherLoss is a noble book for acknowledging men's right to grieve, but it lacks clear how-to advice. Recommended especially for small support groups but also for public libraries where interest warrants.DDouglas C. Lord, Hartford P.L., CT
