Recs for non-religious books about grief
I'm hoping you can help. My Father in Law has been in ICU for a little over two months and tomorrow they are making the decision whether to continue care and I believe the decision will be to not continue. DH is not religious at all and has never experienced a loss. I know he's been reaching out on the internet to read some articles about grief and whatnot to prepare himself but I was thinking maybe there's some type of self-help book or grief counseling type book that I could also get for him to help him out. FIL has MS, epilepsy, congenital heart failure, and most recently they found a blood infection. infection in the leads to his pacemaker, and lung cancer so things are not looking good and no one believes he'll be able to recover. I, of course, don't want him to die but I do want to be prepared if it's the case.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have any recommendations. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry you are going through this!
If he goes to hospice, the workers may be able to offer book suggestions. In my experience, hospice care workers are some of kindest people you will ever meet.
