It's not meant to pack in a ton of information, instead it reads more like a movie or story. It's a very expressive book - using big photos at times and few words at other times to stop you reading and really let you think about what you are reading. Cool cool book.             The Grieving Garden: Living with the Death of a Child22 reviews Suzanne Redfern, Susan K.

Another good book to ...             The Bereaved Parent29 reviews Harriet Sarnoff Schiff Penguin (Non-Classics), 1978 Sanity Saver I have to highly recommend this book for a bereaved parent.
