    Highly Recommended if You Lost a Parent

    I recently lost my father and was struggling to cope and deal with his untimely passing. I was 21 years old when he passed; my mom's birthday was only a week away, his was a week and a half. The passing was a complete surprise to all of us. My mom and I don't exactly have a great relationship, so talking about my dad and his passing became more difficult. I do not have any friends who's had a parent pass away at a young age, so no one could really help guide me.

    I was told by several people to find a book that would possibly help me understand and cope with my dad's passing. This book did a great job of relating to different age groups (ages 13 - 60+) and different kinds of untimely passing's (whether it be a long-term disease, suicide, murder, or just out of the blue, like a heart attack). The book remained relatively neutral about the age of the person dealing with the death of his/her parent and how the parent passed, which is great because there aren't that many books for people (especially my age) dealing with the untimely death of a parent. I have researched and looked for books that could help me (I found that a lot of books deal with young children, teenagers, or people who are 40+ who have recently lost a parent). I realize that young adults like myself experiencing a passing of someone important in their lives may be rare, but it does happen and I'm sure a lot of young adults would like a book to help them; that being said, this book is the closest and best reference out there that I have found.

    The author included had many useful tips, tools, and suggestions for how to deal with such a passing and even gave a reference to other books that may be helpful and even some outside resources.
