Product Description

Product Description

Based on dozens of interviews with people who have lost their partner, this book tells what helped them and what upset them. For everyone who is close to someone who has lost a partner, this book advises on how to give the best possible support. It includes tips and guidance on what to say and what to do, what not to say and do, to help your friend cope a little better with their grief.

About the Author

After ten years as a correspondent with Reuters, Caroline started writing websites, including Justgiving.com. A year after having the first of her two daughters, she left Reuters. In 2002 her husband Nick was diagnosed with cancer and died a year later. If There's Anything I Can Do... was born out of Caroline's experience of his illness, death and her life since.

Read this, please 22 Sep 2007
As someone who is now just 15 weeks along the hardest journey I have ever made, I ask you all to read this. I wish I had enough money to buy it for everyone I know.

When someone dies it leaves a massive void and we all tend to walk around trying to avoid it. It's hard to know what to say, let alone what to do. This book is full of really upfront advise and responses from the bereaved. The main message I got from reading it was that the well intentioned "Call me anytime if I can help" is hopeless. This book offers much better alternatives and left me feeling empowered to help.
We'll need to read this book at sometime because it makes a bad situation, better.

As a friend it is sometimes hard to know how to go about helping someone whose life has been devestated. We don't find it easy to express our grief, understanding or support for someone who has been bereaved. As a society, its as if we have forgotten how to just be there for someone.

This book is wonderful. Its a really good, very well set out and understandable, guide to knowing what will actually help a friend or relative during a horrible time in their life. It doesn't take some grand guesture or a lot of your time. Its the little things we can do which can make a real difference.

It great to have a practical guide to what we can do, or say, to help our loved ones in their lowest time.
