After Goodbye: How To Begin Again After The Death Of Someone You Love Hardcover – March 30, 1994

In 1993 after my son (28) was killed in a helicopter crash, I ordered a copy of this book. Since that time I have given 68 copies of this book. Instead of flowers I give this small book. Flowers are not forever but a book is.

An excellent book to read about the death of a loved one. Hard to find because it is no longer in print.

This tiny book evokes tears, smiles and nods of understanding as Ted Menten's vignettes hold our hands through the process of grief. As a counselor myself, it is evident that this author has spent many hours in the company of grief. The beauty of his book is that it embraces and validates what only grievers know: you don't get over things and move on, but you move on holding your loved one forever in your heart.

Excellent for those grieving the loss of a loved one.

Item as described, rec'd promptly, well-packed and in good condition.

One reviewer said this book was little more than "fluff". I believe that lots of people look too much to external sources for the "magic bullet" to make them quit grieving.In my grief (widowed) I have found that this book was one that really got it right, and one of the biggest things to give me support was just being able to read someone who understood what I was going through.Menten, while I don't think he was a widower like me, somehow does a fantastic job in getting it right.I would highly suggest this book and will give it to other widows/widowers in the future.

Enjoyed this little book and found it helpful to me following my husband's death. A portion of it was used at the memorial service and I had many requests for the title and author, so it obviously struck a chord with others as well

I think this is a marvelous little book. Ted Menten puts everything in perspective pertaining to grief. I cherish this little book.
