Books
As we grieve the death of our loved ones, some of us have taken comfort in reading. Donor family volunteers have compiled a list of recommended books based on topics such as bereaved parents, helping children and teens grieve, suicide, general bereavement and more. If you would like to recommend a book for donor families, please let us know. Other Resources
