Early in the Mourning: Reflections on a Loss, Keenly Felt

THE journal which the author kept during the illness and death of his beloved companion, forms the basis of this personal memoir. It records the ebb and flow of his thoughts, emotions and reflections during that critical period. This book will be helpful to patients, families and friends of people with a life-limiting illness or those recently bereaved. The book's brevity will appeal to those whose time or attentiveness is stretched. Doctors, nurses, psychologists, counsellors, social workers and other allied health professionals will benefit greatly from viewing grief from a family member's perspective.
