Grief''s Country - A Memoir in Pieces

Those interested in the subject area of death and dying will find it useful as a book that bypasses recovery narratives, truisms, and "stages of griefto get as close as possible to the experience itself.

Summary

Gail Griffin had only been married for four months when her husband's body was found in the Manistee River, just a few yards from their cabin door. The terrain of memoir is full of stories of grief, though Grief's Country is less concerned with the biography of a love affair than with the lived phenomenon of grief itself.
