Through her own dealings with the deaths of numerous family and friends, she realized that the cookie cutter solutions offered didn't affirm or confirm a person's feelings. "Conquering the Mysteries and Lies of Grief" explores some of the more controversial topics as well as the scattered viewpoints about grief including hallucinations, anger, and the domino effect of stress.
