Synopsis

When my parents died, I quickly learned what was helpful (friends who listened and were patient), and what wasn't (people who told me how I felt, preached their beliefs, or avoided the subject completely). It made we wonder about the experiences of others. I interviewed hundreds of people about their losses and asked where they found comfort. I share their answers, secrets, and the top ten things NEVER to say to someone who's grieving. You'll never have to feel awkward again when reaching out to someone after a death. Whether you are reaching out to someone who is grieving, or you are the one dealing with the death of someone you loved, this book is for you.

About this title

About the Author

Alicia King writes from the unique perspective of one who has lost many of those close to her. Her mother's death was suspicious enough to launch a homicide investigation and lengthy legal roller coaster. This ultimately led to a sentence of more than 15 years for her mother's boyfriend. During the next eight years she would lose her grandmother, stepfather, stepmother, and father, as well as miscarrying while awaiting her mother's boyfriend's trial. Ms. King currently lives in Franklin, Tennessee, with her husband, Dan, and their two children. She is an award-winning songwriter, writing mostly for film and TV.
