"This book is an amazing journey through the very sensitive topic of Bereavement, in its many forms. What I love about this book is the care and respect offered to the reader in each section. It is full of information, practical tips and case studies, inviting the reader to reflect and process at their own pace. It is not a definitive guide to the correct responses but an exploration of potential responses and answers for individuals. I believe this book would be a great addition as a must-read for all Coach and Supervision training programs." - Benita Stafford-Smith, Managing Consultant at BLSS Coaching and Acredited Coach Supervisor
