Critics Review
A very personal and candid account of a scientist’s grieving process and an impressive attempt to make scientific sense of and understand grief. The major lesson: You will never be who you were before the loss, but most can happily and ‘healed’ move forward as a new and different person. – Ad Vingerhoets, author of Why Only Humans Weep: Unravelling the Mysteries of Tears
Moving and insightful. – Christopher Lane, Ph.D. * Psychology Today *
