Lights For The Path - A Guide Through Grief, Pain and Loss

Madeleine was nine when she first realised that people could die; she was reading a book where the character lost a parent. Little did she know then that her own mother would die just three years later, changing her world forever.

Over 20 years later, she can still remember the loneliness that surrounded her. It's what prompted her to write this book: a guide for coping with the loss of a loved one.

Bringing together stories of loss, advice from doctors, counsellors, authors and others as well as Madeleine's own experience, this book offers practical tips and incredible comfort, telling readers everywhere: you are not alone, and you will find your way.
