Good Mourning - by Sally Douglas & Imogen Carn (Paperback)

About the Book

Sally Douglas and Imogen Carn met after the sudden deaths of their mothers only months apart.

Good Mourning is a compassionate survival guide for anyone dealing with grief - the kind of book Sal and Im wish they'd had to help them through the dark times.
