Coping with Death

In this short book author Leslie Scrase helps to uncover and explain those emotions felt when having to deal with death, something we will all be involved with during various parts of our lives but which is often so very difficult to contemplate or discuss.

After many years of conducting Humanist ceremonies the author has gained a great deal of sympathetic knowledge and understanding about bereavement and how to cope with it.

Starting with the funeral ceremony itself, the book goes on to discuss the problems of coping with untimely death, surviving and progressing after bereavement, whether there is life after death, and dealing with the anger or guilt which death can induce.

At the end of the book there are a good number of passages and poems to help stimulate or bring comfort to readers, many of which could also be particularly useful to anyone looking for something suitable to quote within a memorial ceremony.
