When She Died

WHEN SHE DIED braves grief's gritty landscape with unflinching honesty. Additionally the in-real-time journal entries point to all the ups and downs, madnesses and heart-wrenching immediacy of a spousal loss. This is balanced by a retrospective on the death and its aftermath 30 years later. This book is anything but a clinicians take on grieving, rather it is an intensely private and thoughtfully laid out map for all the various stages of grief from a personal vantage point that ultimately emerges as something profoundly universal.
