It discusses both, the theories and the day-to-day        experience of grief, and what might make a difference to how people manage it.This        will be an invaluable resource for professionals involved in supporting families        with end of life care and bereavement issues, including palliative care        professionals, counsellors, and social workers. Parents and Bereavement will also        help parents, family, and friends to understand and support each other through such        loss.
