Letters to Peter

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“These poignant letters testify to the great affection between a father and son. Mayer's plaintive cry of "how could you?" points up the apparent senselessness of the sudden death of a young person. His lamentation echoes some of the great biblical sorrows down through the centuries. The letters will be of particular help to all those suffering grief and loss, no matter what the circumstances.”
