I found this to be quite a compelling read and very much enjoyed the style of writing which I thought was similar to [b:Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead|16071764|Lean In Women, Work, and the Will to Lead|Sheryl Sandberg|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1364250803s/16071764.jpg|21865596]. It's written very much from Sandberg's own experience of the sudden loss of her husband, and is filled with anecdotes from her life and those around her. Interspersed amongst this are scientific and psychological studies on why she might have felt a certain way or what the appropriate action or advice might be for certain situations.

I don't think it's right to approach this as THE definitive guide to dealing with loss and grief as it doesn't go deep enough into the details. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed learning more about what it's like on the other side and have developed more empathy and knowledge around the subject matter.
