A beginner's guide to the end: practical advice for living life and facing death by BJ Miller, MD and Shoshana Berger. Quercus 2019.
Written mainly for
those facing the prospect of their own death, much of the content isn’t
relevant for others. However, there are a couple of chapters which are
particularly relevant to my interest in books supporting children and teens who
are grieving:
Chapter 16: How to talk to kids
Chapter 21: Grief.
There were a couple of quotes which resonated with me:
P111 Grief is a shape-shifter and
varies in intensity and form as it winds its way through a person. You can feel
your insides wresting with the loss, trying to reconcile the truth of what’s
gone with what remains.
P343… [T]he pain of loss stems from the power of love. If you didn’t care this would all be easier.
Some of the advice is very UK specific.
