Expected Loss - (Words of Hope and Healing) by Alan Wolfelt (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

We don't only experience grief after a loss--we often experience it before. If someone we love is seriously ill, or if we're concerned about upcoming hardships of any kind, we naturally begin to grieve right now. This process of anticipatory grief is normal, but it can also be confusing and painful. Life is change, and change is hard. This book will help see you through.
