Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
When confronted with a grieving friend, some people feel uncomfortable and inadequate. What should they say? What should they do? Will talking about it just make the pain worse? Will ignoring it make it go away?
Many years ago, popular novelist Lauraine Snelling lost her only daughter to cancer. Here she shares with readers her own story and those of many others, including fellow writers Tracie Peterson and Stephanie Grace Whitson, who have also felt the pain of grief. Snelling encourages readers to not be afraid to offer a shoulder to cry on or a hand to hold when someone has been dealt a loss. Through the simple gestures of touch, tears, talk, and time, readers can help the griever work through their pain and loss.
