Understanding Your Grief Series
I have read a number of articles by Alan Wolfelt and have appreciated his approach in his writings. The series that I have recently purchased are very helpful materials about this difficult topic. I have been able to use the material in the present course I am giving to get good discussions started. I am still looking for a book that has handout material to give to the participants to take home and review again. This would be a good supplement.
