"[A]n impressive contribution to the theoretical understanding of and clinical interventions with patients facing the task of coming to terms with traumatic loss….[W]e, as therapists, can now, in this book, enjoy the fruits of Malkinson’s long and rich experience with patients who lost their loved ones, [it] is a tribute to the author’s inner strength, humanity, deep understanding, and above all real care for other human beings who in their pain and suffering form a mirror in which we can, will and must see ourselves as well."
