Fatherloss How Sons of All Ages Come to Terms

FatherLoss is a nuanced look at one of the most common and least-studied events in mens lives. Offering a fresh view of the grieving process and practical advice, this book contains information on: how a son can prepare for his loss; coping immediately following the death; a womans role in helping men through it; and the different ways men grieve.

Neil Chethik, a graduate of Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, specializes in writing about the psychology of men. A professional speaker and workshop leader, he has worked on the staffs of newspapers in Florida and California. He lives in Lexington, Kentucky.
