Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dear Andrew" is a chronicle of love and grief as expressed through letters from a father to his deceased eight-year-old son. It begins with the raw shock and bewilderment of Andrew's unexpected death and moves, letter by letter, through the father's grief process. Like all grief, this is a path that is not straight and predictable. In the end, it leads to a sense of transformation and peace. Although it is personal in content, it is universal in its meaning. It opens the door to the very essence of grief, indirectly giving the bereaved permission to feel all there is to feel in their loss and to express those feelings openly. Finally, "Dear Andrew" confirms that recovery does not mean "getting over it" or "moving on". Nevertheless, the letters show that it is possible to find new joy and deepened passion in life and living, after great loss. This collection of letters may give hope and comfort to others in grief, and to those caring souls who would offer support.
