Grief is like fingerprints; each of us grieves in our own, unique way. Whether the grieving person needs quiet and peace at first, or the presence of friends and family; whether they welcome help with household tasks or ways to memorialize their loved one, Griefprints - A Practical Guide For Supporting A Grieving Person will help those who care find ways to support and comfort the grieving person.

Since the murder of her son, Christopher, in 1996, Radha Stern has devoted herself to helping others who have lost a loved one due to a violent crime. She created and maintains her website, Griefprints.com, to share her experiences throughout her journey from the darkness of grief into the light of gratitude. She is active in Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence (formally the Legal Community Against Violence) and the Insight Prison Project, as well as The Compassionate Friends, an organization for parents who have lost a child. Radha is an experienced grant maker, fundraiser, and marketer, and her extensive volunteer activity over the last two decades includes work with trade organizations, advocacy groups, and victim s rights programs. She is a past member of the Board of Directors for the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation; a program officer for a family philanthropic foundation that supports organizations providing basic services to critical-need populations; and a volunteer at the San Francisco and Marin Food Banks. Radha s book, Griefprints: A Practical Guide for Supporting a Grieving Person, will be published this year. She is also a contributor to the inspirational book Courage Does Not Always Roar: Ordinary Women with Extraordinary Courage (Simple Truths, 2010). A native Californian, she lives with her husband, Gary; together they have five children and five grandchildren.
Death is cold, cruel. In a split second, it's too late to turn back the clock. For survivors, everything is hard. Even breathing can seem an impossible task. What do you say to a person in grief who has lost a loved one? Are there words? Are there simple acts that can ease the pain? In her tender, beautiful book, Radha Stern, a survivor of her own dark grief, shows us the way to care for ourselves and each other when we are lost and don't know how. --Nancy Mullane Author of Life After Murder: Five Men In Search of Redemption
