Autorenporträt

Martin M. Auz began his studies in grief recovery in 1978 and through the years has conducted extensive research in the area of organizational grief recovery. The loss of both his parents in 1997, less than six months apart, caused him to probe even deeper into the issues of death and grief. Maureen Lyons Andrews is the founder of her local parish's grief recovery program, and she served as an active member of several bereavement programs in the south suburbs of Chicago. As a direct result of Andrews' efforts, many churches, hospitals, and funeral homes in Chicagoland offer grief counseling, recovery, and support programs.
