Reviews:
Surviving the Tsunami of Grief is a raw and wonderful book. There are no lengthy explanations or academic theories. It tells it how it is. Expressions of feeling from real people who have gone through the process. The strong and vivid illustrations add to the emotional impact of this powerful book. I lent it to a friend who is experiencing a bereavement, she is finding it very helpful and has brought her own copy. PN
This is a very special book on bereavement. Instead of requiring the reader to focus on lengthy text and use their powers of reason, it appeals to the emotions and senses. Through its evocative illustrations and poetic text, the authors reach the soul of the reader, gently leading the bereaved person through the different stages of their grief.
This wonderful book can be opened at any page and just glanced at or dwelt on at length, and the reader will feel that someone understands their pain and bewilderment.
It is often so difficult for those wanting to support the bereaved to know what to do or say. They will find the section giving guidance on such matters an important resource. In addition, giving this book to a bereaved person at any stage of their grief would provide them with an invaluable source of comfort. Anon
