Pat Bertram, born and raised in Colorado, has become something of a nomad, looking for adventure in whatever comes her way -- writing, blogging, hiking, and road tripping in her vintage Volkswagen. After the death of her life mate/soul mate in 2010, Pat used her blog - bertramsblog.com - to write about the experience of grief. Along the way she has received and replied to thousands of comments and emails from readers who have also lost a loved one, and in the process has come to the conclusion that much of the orthodoxy surrounding grief is simply wrong. Grief: The Inside Story -- A Guide to Surviving the Loss of a Loved One debunks many of the myths surrounding grief and offers a clear and practical alternative to the usual platitudes.
