This is an exquisite book, wrenching to read, and at the same time full of profound truths. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Grief: The Great Yearning\u003c\/i\u003e by Pat Bertram is a book of empathic understanding. How many recently bereft have looked to society's guidelines for grieving and found these \"norms\" did not correspond to what they were feeling? How many were left confused and even more depressed because they were not \"progressing\" like the experts said they should? Bertram's book is a comfort to those of us tossed into the grief whirlwind of disbelief and agony. The entire book is raw and real. \u003ci\u003eGrief: The Great Yearning\u003c\/i\u003e is a companion guide from someone who has already been there.
