For counselors, social workers, voluntary bereavement agencies, church pastoral teams, hospice and hospital staff, and others engaging in conversations with the bereaved, Graves, a counselor and bereavement service coordinator in the UK, details methods for talking with bereaved people in individual or group settings. She outlines six elements of a conversation, and suggested techniques and activities to help the person express and explore their grief. She does not directly address bereaved children or people with learning disabilities. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
