The best books on grief and loss
Who am I?
Allen Klein is a former hospice volunteer and the former director of The Life-Death Transitions Institute in San Francisco. He has also spoken at over 100 hospice events around the world. In addition, several of his books have dealt with death, dying, and grief. Among them are, The Healing Power of Humor, The Courage to Laugh, and Embracing Life after Loss. Klein's interest in the connection between humor and death and dying came out of the death of his wife, who had a wonderful sense of humor. He saw how humor helped her, and those around her, cope with this challenging circumstance.

Hamnet
This remarkable and moving book is a must for all Shakespeare lovers.
Set in Elizabethan times the narrator takes us through the eyes of the wife of Will Shakespeare without mentioning names. We are given a picture of a strange existence—a pregnancy outside marriage, devotion—and a sense of a deep love for the twins, Judith and Hamnet.
The death of Hamnet is heartbreaking in its intensity.
Read it! You won't be able to put it down!
When My Time Comes
Diane is the curious and savvy public radio journalist who educated even as she entertained so many Americans, presenting conversations on every aspect of life in arts, science, and politics. I came to know Diane when I appeared on her show and was transfixed by watching her expertly navigate advanced broadcast technology even as she sized up her guests, crafted questions from her own astute observations, and coaxed her guests to reveal things they perhaps did not intend. In this book, she shares her most personal side as she considers options at the end of a life well-lived. Her wisdom is gleaned from personal history plus thousands of interviews, and she generously shares it with us.
Many Lives, Many Masters
If you're a skeptic about reincarnation, this is the perfect book for you. It is the true story of a traditional psychotherapist who didn't believe in reincarnation until a patient began to recall past-life traumas that were continuing to affect his life. Their journey together changed both of their lives in profound and unimaginable ways. Both provocative and timeless, this book is incredibly powerful and thought-provoking.
