I agree that we should give more compassion to those suffering bereavement. I also think the information regarding brain scans was fascinating but, given my own break-up experience, not unpredictable. His points for better healing processes were also helpful.

It would be interesting to see the stats of those in some form of emotional bereavement (divorce, death, break-up, etc) and see the comparison brain scans between those who had recently suffered death of a spouse and those who had recently suffered a break-up. And the level of physical involvement in that break-up, etc., etc., etc. (cue King and I voice)

But as that wasn't really the purpose of the book, no fault there.

I did think that he should be one of the forerunners of a new group I want to start. But, sadly, he doesn't seem to advocate for that.

What I appreciate most about this is perhaps not the advice (though that’s good too), but the affirmation that intense and lasting feelings over things that society does not typically take too seriously - the death of a pet or the loss of a short relationship - are neither invalid nor abnormal.
