Reviews
`Review from previous edition What makes this a must-read is the consistent theme that bereavement is not a disease. Across the chapters, the non-pathologising, collaborative and purposeful stance informs an approach that can find rich application across the tiers of children's services.' Journal of Advanced Nursing `Reading this book brought back memories that I do not cherish from a long time ago, but my spirit was lightened reading about the enormous and continuing advances made in the management of bereaved children that have occurred since that time. One cannot but admire the inventiveness of some of the interventions described, and the enthusiasm is infectious. I thought the exploration of brief family interventions before bereavement was particularly interesting. Anyone who has anything to do with bereaved children should read this book. Strongly recommended.' IAHPC Website `I highly recommend this book as a core text in the field and one which all practitioners would benefit from reading.' Palliative Medicine
