Hi Tatsoi

I have not read her books for some time, but in the past I found Elisabeth Kubler Ross extremely helpful. Her foundation website offers good advice http://www.ekrfoundation.org/

http://www.booktopia.com.au/search.ep?productType=917504&keywords=elisab... lists 19 of her books.

'On Death and Dying' was one of note.

Warm hugs of strength and comfort, Pamela Smile

Elizabeth Kubler Ross had a great recipe on grieving. I think it has helped so many people understand a little better what is going on for them. Smile
