Outstanding book!!!

As an executive in a Fortune 50 corporation, this book has allowed me to deal with great personal loss, and also empathize with those I work closely with who are grieving. Rarely does material cross my desk which makes me take notice, such as Dr. Mannino's did. I was captivated by the ease of the excersises, as well as the quite difficult issues we all face at times in our daily lives. I applaude you on your efforts Dr.Maninno, job very well done.

This book brought me back to life.

I had just lost a partner to cancer and Dr. Mannino's book, Grieving Days, Healing Days, saved the day for me. It has everything from A to Z for people dealing with loss. I truly appreciated the many exercises for expressing and working through my loss. The book is warmly written, witty where useful, and filled with lots of "homespun" tips for getting back to normal and ultimately back to life. This is clearly a self-help book that does exactly that--teaches one to help themselves. Bravo Dr. Mannino, well done!

Masterful book for helping those deal with the pain of loss

I am a chaplain and have used Grieving Days, Healing Days since it came out in 1997. It should be in every caregiver's "took box." I don't leave home without it. I often give copies to those in need and feel I have done something wonderful. I only wished more people knew about this fine book.Chaplain Robert F. M.

It is a "10" --- my students say.

I'm the author of Grieving Days, Healing Days. The book was the result of nearly 10 years working with death and dying patients, nearly 400 of whom were HIV/AIDS clients, friends, and colleagues I think what has made the book successful, it is in a second printing, is its interactive quality, which allows those dealing with dying, death, and loss to have a place to work through their grieving issues.The book is a "standard reference" for those needing insight on a host of important issues surrounding death and dying.It is also a good value, considering what it provides. It has been a standard resource in college death and dying courses since 1996. I have been teaching a death and dying course at Santa Rosa Junior College for over six years, and know how helpful the book has been to my students and their loved ones. Remember: Life is a piece of art, not a piece of cake!Thank You for reading this.Dr. J. Davis Mannino
