As the title suggests, the subject matter of Leah Hager Cohen's ''The Grief of Others'' is pretty grim stuff. The Ryrie family, living in the suburbs of New York, suffer the tragic loss of a baby just fifty seven hours after it is born. The book details how, one year later, the family are coping, or more accurately not coping.
