Sara Wengerd had years of experience with death via her work as a hospice nurse and caring for the elderly. Then it happened to her. Beginning with her husband's accident, through the first day, the funeral, and the next two years, Wengerd illuminates the grieving process with heartfelt and surprising candor.

Many of us feel awkward and hesitant when talking to a recently bereaved person. We don't want to say the wrong thing. A Healing Grief is an antidote to this problem. At the end of each chapter is a list of practical advice and tangible suggestions for action that friends and family can do to comfort and show love to the bereaved.

Makes the perfect gift for both those who are grieving and those who are offering support and comfort.
