There are a great many books about grief and remarkably few about Tuesday afternoon - the bank that will not speak to you, the wardrobe you cannot open, the friends who have gone quiet, and the birthday coming up that you have no idea what to do with.
One hundred practical tips, each a page or two, each ending with one thing you can do today. Written for the person actually in it, not about grief in general.
Inside- The first weeks - the short list of what genuinely has to happen now, and permission to ignore everything else
- The paperwork - certificates, accounts, pensions and the estate, in the order it actually arrives
- Money - why every large decision should wait a year, what you may be entitled to, and how to handle the people who appear selling things
- Grief itself - why there are no stages, why relief and anger are normal, and how to tell ordinary unbearable from the kind that needs help
- Staying well - the real health risk of the first year, and the handful of habits that protect against it
- The empty house - their belongings, at your pace, and what to say to relatives who arrive with bin bags
- Other people - friends who disappear, appalling things said kindly, and how to answer how are you a hundred times
- The days that ambush you - anniversaries, birthdays and the first Christmas, planned rather than endured
- The longer view - the second year, new relationships, family reactions, and the guilt of being happy again
Every tip ends with one small action, because in the first year the difficulty is rarely understanding what to do. It is being able to begin.
Set in large, clear type. Practical throughout, with a plain word about when grief needs professional help and where to find it.
There is no schedule you are behind on, and no point at which you were supposed to be over it.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
