Reviews

A unique and compassionate guide, which gives people struggling with grief and loss the tools they need. Above all, Elizabeth Vercoe and Kerry Abramowski let young people know that even in their darkest hour they are not alone.
— Dr Michael Carr-Gregg

Straightforward, conversational... thoughtful and down-to-earth...
— Magpies

Honest and respectful... In 55 intimate chapters, she addresses just about everything a young person might need to know to help them through the darkest night. ‘You can deal with grief in your own way,’ she writes. ‘What happens next is up to you.’ Both radical and liberating, Vercoe shines a bright light.
