Personal, informative, and helpful

This book spoke from personal experience of loss but was informative and helpful as well. As I went through the book, I found myself reflecting on my own experience with grief, which led me to become a hospice volunteer at one point in my life. While I was already familiar with the chapters on grief science and support resources for families, the Legal and Financial Guidance chapter stood out as it's a topic that's often overlooked when discussion grief after loss. I also appreciated the Cultural and Spiritual Perspectives chapter, which introduced a diverse range of traditions. It’s something I plan to explore further when the time comes. Overall, a great and helpful read whether you listen all the way through or just specific sections at a time as your needs come up.
