“Lynne is an educator, author, and counselor. As a faculty member at Cabrillo College in Aptos, California, she developed and taught one of the first interdisciplinary courses on death and dying in California. Her first nationally published popular writing on death appeared in the November 1977 issue of New Age magazine. Certified by the Association for Death Education and Counseling as a death educator and as a grief counselor, Lynne was instrumental in developing that organization’s Education for Certification program. In addition to producing audiovisual and print resources for death education, she lectures both in North America and internationally to professional, corporate, and community groups, and she conducts training programs and in-service education for hospices, school districts, and health care professionals.”

I read this book in Lynne’s class and it was so helpful. Mrs. Despelder is the best teacher I have ever had. This book is a must read.
