Delaney Susan (ed)
Irish stories of loss and hope
Irish Hospice Foundation 2007
This is a book of personal experiences of bereavement. Many types of bereavement are described and the writers reflect on a great variety of relationships that they have lost through death – from their own newly born infants to much loved elderly relatives. It is very well produced with colourful photographs and paintings. If you want to obtain it for clinical work, the librarian is happy to send it to you free of charge. Alternatively you can purchase it for personal use or as a gift. In that case, the cost is £7 including postage. Other new publications from the IHF are:
Bereavement at work by Breffni McGuinness. Free of charge
Lifestory. A journal where people record their own lifestory €40.00
Design and Dignity Baseline Review. Hospice Friendly Hospitals Programme Free of charge
