Joanna Luttrell is well acquainted with grief. The bereavement coordinator supports families that are navigating a child\u2019s terminal illness at St. Jude\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital in Memphis.<\/p>\n

From the moment they receive a diagnosis until a year after the loss, \u201cI send letters, resources, emails,\u201d Ms. Luttrell said, so that families know they have support. A big part of the process, she added, involves sharing books.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s a \u201cchallenging relationship or situation, I might send out a book right away,\u201d she said. \u201cIf they\u2019re looking to process their experience, and their emotional response to their experience, I will send one a bit later.\u201d<\/p>\n

While grief is universal, it\u2019s complicated and highly individualized, Ms. Luttrell said. Reading books can provide perspective and help mourners feel less alone, she has found.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
