Summary: Easy reading for men who are grieving
Review: As a man who has known grief, I can testify that this little book is a very useful tool for grieving men. It's size and writing style are right for someone in the throes of grief--simple and to the point. The two-sided format is an ingenious way to show that it addresses both men and those who know men who are grieving. I fully recommend this book as well as Tom Golden's other book on men and grieving, Swallowed by a Snake.

Summary: Male grief in the Extreme
Review: I lost my parents (and job) in the last year. I cannot see
anyone "Loving" this book but it has been a great help to
me, understanding what and how I can deal with my grief. Hell on earth as now arrived in the form of overtly
incomprehensable evil in NY/WTC. If I had the money I would donate thousands of these to
the brave souls working in and around america's second
perl harbor. God Bless.

Summary: A Little Volume With a Big Message on Masculine Grief
Review: This is one of the most concise and useful books on grief that I have ever read. Although the volume is small, it packs a powerful message of healing for those using a more masculine way of grieving (usually men but also some women) and for friends and loved ones of the bereaved. The book is divided into two parts. The first half seeks to assist the bereaved themselves; the second half seeks to educate those who are around the bereaved person (usually a male) in order to assist him through the grief process. Thomas R. Golden is listed as first author of the first half of the book; James E. Miller is listed as first author of the second half. "When a Man Faces Grief/ A Man You Know is Grieving" is unique in the way it is set up: The front cover shows a winter scene of snow-covered trees; the back cover shows the photographic negative of that same scene. The reader will also notice that the after finishing the first half of the book ("When a Man Faces Grief"), the second half is printed upside down. To read the second half ("A Man You Know is Grieving"), the reader closes the book and flips the entire volume over towards himself or herself to the cover with the photographic negative. Each half consists of twelve, 2-page chapters, followed by a short summary list of ideas. While reading this book, I was reminded of Alla Renee Bozarth's, "A Journey Through Grief." However, the Golden/Miller book concerns itself with the more masculine kind of grieving. And whereas Bozarth's book is geared almost exclusively for the bereaved, Golden and Miller's book is also for those who are around the bereaved person. This book is very readable. It is similar to Thomas R. Golden's more in depth "Swallowed By a Snake: The Gift of the Masculine Side of Healing." However, I could definately recognize the presence of not one, but two male voices in Golden and Miller's jointly authored work. I very much recommend this book, even though it is a small one that can be read very quickly.
