Book Store

TCF holds a small selection of books on bereavement for sale. All are written 'from the inside' and most are personal descriptions of grief journeys after the death of a son, daughter, brother or sister. Prose, poems and academic research - all are powerful testimonies of the individual search for meaning after an overwhelming tragedy.

If you cannot find the book you want on our site then try Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com and TCF will receive commission on your order.
