Katie Couric and Rosie O'Donnell are just a few people in this book who have coped with loss in unique and special ways.  Including tips on how to preserve our memories, create lasting family histories, and reach out to others, Don't Let Death Ruin Your Life shows how the experience of grieving helps us to heal, learn, and grow. Filled with gentle guidance and practical advice, this indispensable handbook takes readers on a journey that will motivate, inspire, and transform their lives.  "Should be on everyone's bookshelf . . .
