After Goodbye: How to Begin Again After the Death of Someone You Love

In 1993 after my son (28) was killed in a helicopter crash, I ordered a copy of this book. Since that time I have given 68 copies of this book. Instead of flowers I give this small book. Flowers are not forever but a book is.

An excellent book to read about the death of a loved one. Hard to find because it is no longer in print.

This tiny book evokes tears, smiles and nods of understanding as Ted Menten's vignettes hold our hands through the process of grief. As a counselor myself, it is evident that this author has spent many hours in the company of grief. The beauty of his book is that it embraces and validates what only grievers know: you don't get over things and move on, but you move on holding your loved one forever in your heart.

Excellent for those grieving the loss of a loved one.
