No Time for Goodbyes : Coping With Sorrow, Anger, and Injustice After a Tragic Death 5th Edition

Rating:
Summary: Good but not exceptional
Review: After my father was killed in an industrial accident I went to the bookstore seaching for books on death and grieving. I found no comfort and in fact found myself angered when reading story after story about people who lost their loved ones to a long illness. It broke my heart to read about how they got to tell them that they loved them, something I never got. "No Time For Goodbyes" was the only book that dealt with the shock and reality of telling someone, "have a good day at work," and never seeing them again.

Review: I thought this book was informative but could have offered a lot more in-depth information. It is good for someone looking for some very basic ideas.

Summary: Highly recommended for anyone victim of tragic death
Review: This book came recommended to me by Parents of Murdered Children. It was comforting to read after the murder of my 20-year-old son. The book covers a lot of ground and I've recommended it to several people who have been victim to a tragic death at any age, children to adult. Affordable, it should be placed in the hands of all those struggling after a violent death. It leads one through the stages of suffering and grief, and lets one know that it is okay to have these feelings, and that one can go on.

Review: This book will prove very helpful for anyone that has had a sudden traumatic death of a loved one. The book covers various kinds of sudden death and explains how it can effect each person it touches. It is a teaching tool for advocates and a learning tool for victims. Being on both sides of the situation I find it a prized book in my library.
