Grieving the loss of a loved one, friend or colleague is an important process--one that can be made unnecessarily awkward if you're not familiar with the religious traditions in which the grieving takes place, and end up feeling uncertain about how to behave. You want to be sure that you know what to do and what to expect. There's no need to enter an unfamiliar atmosphere unprepared. This book helps to solve these mysteries and many more, telling you everything you need to know to avoid embarrassment, express your condolences in an appropriate way, and do the right thing in a difficult situation.
