Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Living Again
William Wallace · 1998
67/100
👎 Skip It
Wallace writes from authentic lived experience as a surviving spouse, which gives this book an emotional credibility that purely clinical grief guides can lack, and the practical exercises add real utility. But the 1998 publication date, limited critical coverage, and narrow focus on spousal bereavement mean that readers have access to more current, broader, and better-documented grief resources today.
