Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of 15 interviews with people facing bereavement covers a whole range of loss - of a baby at birth, a parent, a lifelong partner, a friend - all very personal losses, and all openly discussed. Throughout the interviews the still "taboo" subject of death is talked about. The symptoms of grief - denial, anger, sadness - are expressed in a personal context as difficult emotions are given voice. Howe do people cope, and in what ways? What has helped them?
