It's a memoir that offers accessible, action-driven self-help.In thirteen stand-alone remembrances of deaths that have touched her-of close relatives and neighbors, classmates and dear pets, those caused by accident or violence or simply because it was time?-Elliott invites us into her life. Shying away from sterile and sanitized discussions about death, she goes elbow-deep into the messy and complicated feelings associated with death and grief.As readers, we emerge not just with a deeper understanding but also with a toolkit for healing. Elliott provides thirteen opportunities for personally addressing grief, each a stepping stone toward healing, all with the hope of developing a better relationship with grief and death.
