Death and the Family by Lily Pincus

Death and the Family is a classic book on bereavement. It is recognised as the definitive text for counsellors, doctors, clergy, therapists, social workers, and others whose professional work enables them to reach out to bereaved people. But it is also valuable and rewarding reading for all those who prefer to face up to the harsh realities of life by anticipation and reflection rather than by denial. The book shows how life and death weave a fascinating pattern of inter-relationships, of highlights and shadows, of loves and hates, and of personalities interacting one with another. The more we understand about that pattern, the more we are in a position to live our lives, instead of being lived by them.
