It quickly becomes obvious that you are reading a book that is rich with imagery blended with emotion and tied into traumatic stories of loss. Woven within the chapters, Dr. Cacciatore also offers extra guidance that may be helpful for palliative and hospice providers as she talks about how she maintains resilience in the face of her magnetism that draws the public to share with her their most vibrant and terrible stories of loss. <i>Bearing the Unbearable</i> is beautiful, and a must read for caregivers, bereaved parents, and learners.

Dr. Jo is teaching us how to grieve, and in doing so, she is teaching us how to love--how to love the people we have lost, and to love our own wounds, and what they can now inspire us to do to honor those who are gone."--from the foreword by Johann Hari<br><br>"<i>Grieving Is Loving</i> is a good spiritual friend, a warm hand to anyone seeking companions in bearing the unbearable.

Reading it brought tears to my eyes as it reminded me of the loss of loved ones thirty and forty-five years ago.
