I am so thankful that I came across this book soon after my mother died. The book presents a daily reading for the one-year mourning period, with an insightful reading for the week. It also has space on each page to record personal thoughts. I followed the divisions in the book, reading a selection each day. The readings truly helped me deal with, and work through, my grief. And I occasionally recorded my thoughts when the readings really struck a chord in my heart. I don't know if I could have dealt with my mother's death without having had this "Mourner's Kaddish Companion" to gently guide me.

This is a great book to ease your way through Shiva, Shloshim, and a year of mourning. Unfortunately, when we ordered it at Amazon, it showed two copies remaining, but after we ordered them, it was then listed as backordered. Even more unfortunate was that Amazon did not notify us of this. So, it was three weeks before we got these books that have daily reflections. Amazon was kind enough to waive shipping after I called them asking where the books were(especially since I had paid extra to have them shipped as soon as possible), but our experience with Amazon was very disappointing this time around. In the future, I would order the book again, but somewhere else.
