The death of a loved one: partner, parent, sibling or child, can leave the survivors in shock and turmoil. At this crucially difficult  time, arrangements must be made for the funeral, the Will must be read, and a Pandora's Box of tumultuous feeling can be unleashed.
Not only does this  guide explore the emotions of grief and how to overcome drowning in them, it offers practical help on many different issues that can arise following a death: such as family conflict, guilt, resentment, children, and how to break bad news.
Illustrated with many case histories and with a list of international resources at the back (UK USA, Canada and Australia) this is a sensitive as well as extremely practical guide giving a roadmap to a universal trauma all of us will one day experience.
