IN PRAISE OF "ABC'S of Grief: A Handbook for Survivors is Artistic, Basic, and Compassionate. Christine Adams offers a tool that will help readers organize the chaos of grief according to their needs. Her alphabetical collection of vignettes, poetry, and wisdom of the ages not only allows readers to select that which they need at any point along their journey, but also helps them name their experience. From A to Z, readers feel the embrace of others who have known the savage experience of loss and grief . . . and in that company is the beginning of healing."
Kass Dotterweich, Author of Grieving as a Woman (Abbey Press. 1998)
"What we want when we are grieving is for things to go back the way they were; that?s all. Barring that--and we are barred--we reach out here and there and everywhere for bits and pieces of comfort and solace to get us through the days and nights. ABC's of Grief gives us lots of bits and pieces, and what choice bits and pieces they are! Its very format of bite-sized entries gives the reader the freedom and flexibility to grieve at their own pace and in their own way. This is a healing handbook that is both practical and fresh."
Linus Mundy, Author, Grief Therapy for Men founder and publisher of CareNotes
