Riassunto

First published in 1987. Why is it so difficult to 'let go' or say 'goodbye' to those we love? Death is inevitable. We live with it everyday through others we know, through often short-lived per-ts, on TV and in the news. Yet, when it happens to us, to our parents mainly, why are we so hesitant to say 'goodbye'? Religion teaches that we go on to something so much better, yet we 'hang on' to those who are ready o leave. This book deals with these emotions. It explains that they are normal and natural. It teaches us to deal with our emotions and how to go about accepting the inevitable. In doing all this, the book also teaches us something of our morality. This is a book that belongs in everyone's family library.
