"This very welcome and much needed teaching aid is ideal for midwifery students embarking on their own work relating to loss and grief. While suitably serious and firmly grounded, it is presented in a style likely to draw students in to thinking perceptively about bereavement (…) I will certainly be recommending this inexpensive book to students, encouraging them to complete the imaginative and thought-provoking exercises." – Rosemary Mander, The Practising Midwife, Vol 17, No 3, March 2014
