Abstract Donnelly has interviewed and counseled hundreds of people dealing with the loss of a loved one to AIDS. Here, in the words of such survivors, she c aptures the nuances so frequently characteristic of that particular lossthe secrecy, the mixed feelings, and the social stigma that all too often make survivors of AIDS patients hidden grievers, thei r loss exacerbated by the loneliness of unacknowledged mourning. Donnelly provides separate sections on the loss of a lover or life partner, parent, husband or wife, brother or sister, friend, and ch i l d, respectively. She tells the survivors' tales simply and authentically, with all the sometimes convoluted emotions intact. Published in: NEWYORK Physical description: xviii, 252 pages ; 22 cm
