Better in the Mourning:
Give Grief a Voice is the book that won't collect
dust when you are grieving.

Written in the
wake of my brother's death from complications
arising after heart
and kidney transplants, Feel
Better in the Mourning is
at once a personal memoir, an informational resource
for grievers, a collection of prose
and poetry by mourners, and a stirring invitation
to give voice to your grieving process through
creative expression. The thread weaving these
elements together is a candid narrative that
will gently guide you through rough terrain.
This book's unflinching willingness
to go into the uncomfortable territories of mourning
will elicit a deep exhale or two as you get permission
to explore your responses to the losses you have
absorbed.
