Friend Grief and Anger
"It's not like they're family." Sound familiar? If you're grieving the death of a friend, you've probably heard that from people who just don't get it. And if it made you angry, well, you're not alone. In the first of a series on grieving the death of a friend, "Friend Grief and Anger: When Your Friend Dies and No One Gives A Damn", you'll meet people who also struggled with anger after their friend died. And they'll help you answer the question "okay, I'm angry: now what?"
"Friend Grief and Anger takes the reader for a walk in someone else's shoes by exploring the concept that grief is real, regardless of its form, and that we are not alone in our feelings of anger, sadness, and disappointment when working to embrace the loss of a friend." - Windy City Reviews
"Victoria Noe delicately and expertly brings the combined issue of anger and grief to the forefront in an honest and forthright manner. Her analysis is spot on as she digs into the deeper roots of the reason for one's anger at the loss of a friend. Forthright, enlightening and encouraging, this is a practical and informative guide to assist in bringing closure to the grieving process over the loss of a friend". - Readers' Favorites
