Synopsis

"This is a practical, sensible and thoughtful book. If you know someone recently bereaved, get hold of a copy (or three!), read it, and distribute to friends as well," Lindsay Nicholson, Editorial Director, Good Housekeeping.Watching someone you love go through the pain of bereavement is awful. And it's quite normal to feel numb and unsure how to help.- Will you be intruding if you call?- Should you send flowers?- Would it be better to leave them alone?- Should you avoid talking about the person who has died?You can't take away their grief, of course, but there are things you can do to make everyday life more bearable for them and ease the anxiety and exhaustion. And no one knows better what those things are than people who have been bereaved themselves. Caroline Voaden was widowed in 2003 with two very young children. She explains how it feels to try and cope after the death of a partner, and she also passes on the advice of many other people who have lost their partners, some with young families, many in later life. These people know exactly what helped them most when their partner died, and in the weeks, months and years following. 'If there's anything I can do...' is full of suggestions for little ways - and big ways - you can help someone you care about cope that little bit better after the death of a close loved one.This second edition includes a new chapter giving the perspective from 17 years after Caroline's bereavement, and updated information on support groups, paperwork and official requirements etc. Previously published in paperback as 'If there's anything I can do...' by Caroline Doughty - this is the same author, with a new name.
