Clergy are in a natural position to help people who experience a variety of losses, including death, divorce, moves, and develop-mental transitions. Historically, clergy have been involved as supporters of the bereaved, yet many clergy say that their educa-tion lacked substantive teachings in this area of caring. This book is a response to this apparent need. While directed at clergy, anyone involved in this area of caregiving will find the contents of value.

I first read this book a few months after my 26 yo son was killed by accidental electrocution in our back yard. It was nearly impossible to find anyone who could/would tolerate the depth of my pain. However, this book was THE single most helpful book I read during that first year - and there were a lot of them - trying to hang on. IT WAS LIKE DR. WOLFELT HAD WRITTEN THIS BOOK FROM INSIDE ME! Had I been able to articulate my experience, this book is what I would want others to understand. Because of the lack of psychological support (5 different therapists), I became angry enough to start college at 48 yo with 0 credits, getting my Masters in 6.5 years. Now a psychotherapist in private practice, I lend this book to clients every chance I get, and they all come back with articulating the same feeling I had with my first read. It is so nice to learn how normal our experiences are, so as to promote health grieving vs pathological "stuffing."

I got this for my aging and death class and so much of this book is full of practical knowledge! It says it is for clergy but really it is for anyone that plans on dealing with a lot of death. Excellent book.

The material in the book is informative, the problem is the SMELL of the book...some sort of chemical odor, when leafing through the pages it burns my eyes....have to leave the book open, hoping it will air out. There is a sticker inside the book, stating it belonged to a funeral home. I am not squemish about that fact....just too pungent a smell,

Everyone fears not having the right words to say. Wolfelt gives the reader the permission to not have the right words to say when helping a grieving person. His advice is "mouths closed; ears open; presence available." Marvelous advice!
