If There's Anything I Can Do...
In June 2003 my husband Nick Doughty died of oesophageal cancer. We had been married less than five years - he was 42 and I was 34.
Since his death I have learned a great deal about the process of grief and healing, and
have been buoyed by the support of family, friends and colleagues.
But many people find it hard to know how to deal with a friend's grief, and cope with the endless pain involved in losing a partner.
I wrote If There's Anything I Can Do... to share the advice of many people who have lost partners. They know exactly what helped them most when their partner died, and in the months, weeks and years following.
You can’t take away their grief, of course, but there are things you can do to make everyday life more bearable. If There’s Anything I Can Do... is full of suggestions for little ways – and big ways – you can help someone you care about cope that little bit better.
