"Earl A. Grollman, a pioneer in the field of crisis intervention, was rabbi of the Beth El Temple Center in Belmont, Massachusetts, for 36 years. A certified death educator and counselor, he was cited as ""Hero of The Heartland"" for his work with the families and volunteers of the Oklahoma City bombing. Dr. Grollman has spoken at many colleges, clergy institutes, seminaries, physicians' forums, and hospital nursing associations, and has frequently addressed support groups such as The Compassionate Friends and Mothers Against Drunk Driving. He has also appeared on numerous national television and radio programs, including the Oprah Winfrey Show, Children's Journal, All Things Considered, and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. He was featured on National Public Radio's TheEnd of Life- Exploring Death in Americaseries in the roundtable discussion on grief and bereavement. He is the author of several books including Living When a Loved One Has Died, Straight Talk about Death for Teenagers, and Living When a Young Friend Commits Suicide."
Yet another book on how to cope with the death of a loved one. But this one is a bit different: each of its chapters is followed by several lined columns in which the bereaved can write down their own experiences as they work their way through their emotions and - hopefully - on to recovery. In effect, they are encouraged to write a journal of one of the most traumatic experiences life can bring. This, for some, could be therapeutic. The blessedly brief text reassures readers that they are not alone in experiencing the intense emotions of mourning: shock, denial, guilt, anger, tears, physical reactions, depression. Later chapters serve up gentle advice on how to get one's life back on track through concern for one's children (who may also be suffering and by reaching out to friends, self-help groups and so on. Helpful appendixes include a checklist of personal information (insurance agent, tax consultant, etc.) as well as entry space for recording locations of will, bankbooks, insurance policies, real-estate holdings and other investments. All in all, a good idea that could probably help some work through the trauma of a serious loss. (Kirkus Reviews)
