"Healing After the Loss of Your Mother is a heartfelt and practical guidebook for those mourning the loss of their mother and for supporters hoping to help a loved one through the grief."

Here's what I really like about this book: 

It's easy to read and well organized. 

Short chapters (good for grievers’ difficulty with concentration)

Ch 3: 12 page list of what to expect. Here's just a few:

You are left raw

As noted earlier, throw the five stages of grief out the window. There's no roadmap; no orderly progression through this...

You may find yourself reacting in ways that may even shock you. Anger, early on, is a big one. The flood of emotions may feel like a shock to your nervous system...

Ch 12-14: What the supporters need to know and do for the griever (your client can copy this and give to a friend to distribute to help support).

Ms Mallon encourages community support throughout her book and also has a FB group that readers can join.
