"A Good Friend for Bad Times assists the reader in learning more about the grief process and provides guidelines of what a person might say or do to express their concern to a friend. Chapters cover many timely issues including anticipatory grief and supporting the family immediately after the death, during and after the ceremony, and in the weeks and years beyond. Special considerations are given to cases involving Alzheimer's, cancer, AIDS, suicide, the death of a child, miscarriage, abortion, death by catastrophe, and other situations. The book also suggests ways of providing support during holidays and special events and supporting children through grief.
