Not so practical guide to greif
After the sudden lost of my mother, I felt strangely empty and confused. I had lost my father 2 years prior, and felt I dealt with his death in a very strong and mature way. After my mothers death I was feeling what I thought was an exaggrated sense of loss and bewilderment. I looked for books on the subject and found this book highly reccomended. I did not find what I was looking for.The author recounts her own experience with loss and encourages the reader to take their own "out of body" sharmanisit experiences to deal with grief. I found this not helpful and almost annoying. I did however stumble upon a different book with a simular title: Losing a Parent by Fiona Marshall. This book was excellent and helped so much more.

Disappointed in the premise
I was expecting some advice on how to deal with the emotional and psychological issues of losing a parent.Instead, this book was more about shamanism and spirit guides. That would have been fine if the book was titled as such.
As far as being a helpful book on dealing with death, it is more of a new age tale.
