About Grief: Insights, Setbacks, Grace Notes, Taboos
About Grief is a refreshingly down-to-earth book about an issue that blindsides many people. Written in a warm and conversational way that is, at times, deeply moving, at times, surprisingly amusing, and always practical, it covers a wide range of issues facing people in grief. Marasco and Shuff have done the footwork for readers who wish to know more about this complex subject. Using a variety of sources, including books, films, music and many hours spent talking with people in grief, the authors distill their candid insights into a series of short, single-topic-essays that can be easily digested in one sitting-a format they found grieving people preferred.
This is not a book written by clinicians, so there’s no cold jargon. It’s not a memoir of one individual’s grief, so it has something for everyone. And it’s not a self-peddling inspirational book. It’s a wise, plain-spoken, comforting book about an intimidating topic.
