Sooner or later, death touches us all. And we grieve. Sometimes the grief is your own. Sometimes it comes second hand as someone you love mourns. What do you say to ease a friend's grief? What do you do? What helps and what hurts?
Most people are uncomfortable with death. Many are uncomfortable with being close to someone who is consumed by mourning. Having no idea what to say or what to do, they often do the wrong thing. Or fearing that, they do nothing.
Breathing Again is for those who want to help someone who is mourning but who feel helpless in the face of that sorrow. It is for those outside the grief, the friends who want to help yet fear doing the wrong thing. Its brief, easy-to-read stories were written to help you better understand your friend or loved one's pain and be a better friend to them at a time when your friendship and love are needed most. Although your friend may not be able to ask for your support, perhaps this book will help you know what you can do even if you are not asked.
