Summary

A handbook for those who don't know how to help their bereaved friends, coworkers, neighbors, or relatives. There are an estimated eight million newly bereaved people in the United States each year, and as author Liz Aleshire always said, “a grief shared is a sorrow halved” is a clichè because it's so true. The presence of others is a priceless source of comfort, and 101 Ways You Can Help gives readers the universal basics of helping. What's more, readers will find specific tools for how to offer support based on their relationship to the person who is grieving or deceased, no matter whether it's a boss or a neighbor. Begun by a mom who lost her son at 16, and finished by her friends when she became seriously ill, this is a book that lives its message. 101 Ways You Can Help has the kind of heart and spirit that will encourage readers to reach out, arming them with the do's and don'ts for the delicate situations surrounding bereavement and loss.

There is a lot of concrete information here about how to actively comfort the grieving. If you have never had to do this yet, count yopurself lucky, and read the book. If you perpetually find yourself feling helpless when someone is grieving, this can help a lot.

I didn't totally agree with all the things in this book. I found some of the info to be helpful...not exactly for my situation though. I found some of the "donts" to be things I didn't agree with. In my case the donts were dos & it helped me. But the book was ok.
