Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal
Gr 7 Up-- The major themes here are that unexpressed grief is damaging, and that the manner of grieving and its length are individual matters. There is also advice on directing rage constructively . In general, Grollman views the rituals established by organized religion as helpful. He writes from a universal perspective, for readers of any affiliation or none, presenting practical coping strategies for everyday life. He encourages teens to face the new reality, to seek out support groups, confide their thoughts to a journal, or go for counselling. Danger signals that indicate a need for professional help are listed. The one source given is the address of the ``National Directory of Children's Support Systems.'' The book contains much wisdom; unfortunately, its style and format impede the message. It is repetitive, making the same point in slightly different ways. Especially annoying is the interpolation of glib, sometimes banal aphorisms into sensitive passages of prose. On each page a few sentences are set against an expanse of white background, making the advice look more like free verse and giving an unfocused, run-on impression. The book concludes with self-help exercises that are entirely out-of-step with what has preceded them. More sophisticated and comprehensive than Elizabeth Richter's Losing Someone You Love (Putnam, 1986), but lacking the social history component of Margaret and Lawrence Hyde's Meeting Death (Walker, 1989), this title has potential, but sadly disappoints. --Libby K. White, Schenectady County Public Library, NY
