Reviews

Saying Goodbye offers a wealth of guidance for anyone supporting a child or young person through the expected death of someone they are close to. The book models the language and clarity needed by parents and adults and extensively covers the practical, emotional and spiritual issues involved. I hope that Saying Goodbye will become as widely available as possible to all adults in need of support for their families at this difficult time. Sarah Delfont, FORCE Cancer Charity
