More than just an Open University course reader

I would not have read this book if I had not been required to do so by the Open University course which I am studying. But you do not have to do the course to read this book. It is an anthology of short articles and extracts from other books on the themes in the book's title. The book can be 'dipped-into' at random. The book contains articles from people like the very courageous columnist John Diamond, about his diagnosis and consequent outlook on the little life he had left to live. Some of the articles contain information from factual or medical viewpoints, many of the articles are personal accounts and can be very moving to read. One such is the extract from 'Tuesday with Morrie' by Mitch Albom. Having read this I ordered the book straight away as I had to read the full story. This book will help the reader to understand death, dying and bereavement a little more through the experiences(often painful)of others. Anyone who is going to die, is dying or has experienced bereavement in their life should read this book. That just about includes everyone. I highly recommend it.
