You're most welcome. Irvin Yalom, a psychiatrist in California, has also written extensively on death, dying, and other existential concerns in many of his books. His nonfiction is best. I liked Creatures of a Day. He also co-wrote A Matter of Death and Life with his wife Marilyn while she was dying of cancer. It blends his personal and professional experience with grief and loss. Psychology is a pretty soft, pretty new, pretty inexact science, but he's a tenured Stanford professor, so it's pretty safe to say he knows what's up. I'd recommend it if you want a book that has less of a clinical/textbook vibe than J.W. Worden's.
