I found this to be a 'big' book--the work of a lifetime, in a sense, and a thoughtful, engaged life, obviously--one committed to deep and compassionate witnessing by an author who has dedicated decades to hearing the call of distress on the part of countless clients undergoing daunting trauma and transition... I frankly regard it as a minor masterpiece, and certainly the magnum opus of Richard L. Hayes' career as a clinical scholar. Its most commendable content contribution is providing a sweeping and yet well-integrated account of loss and its role in fostering change and meaning-making across the lifespan, and doing so in a way that does not require the reader to be a specialist in the numerous literatures on which he draws. --Robert A. Neimeyer, University of Memphis
