Healing

Alicia King writes from real, hard-won experience — multiple personal losses including a suspicious death — and that gives her dos-and-don'ts guidance a credibility that purely clinical guides lack. The practical structure, including the ten things never to say to someone who is grieving, is immediately useful for people who feel helpless in a friend's loss. It is aimed squarely at supporters rather than the bereaved themselves, so check your purpose before you buy.
