My father-in-law was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident. This was the only book that my mother-in-law could concentrate on right after it happened. The chapters are short, very specific, and include a short scripture reference. I've just ordered it for a newly-widowed woman at our church.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful, December 6, 2000

This review is from: Grieving the Loss of Someone You Love: Daily Meditations to Help You Through the Grieving Process (Paperback)

My husband died totally unexpectedly four weeks ago and a friend pressed a copy of this book into my hand about a week later. Even though I was shell-shocked it was very easy to read - you can pick up and put down easily - skip the chapters that do not yet pertain to how you are feeling and repeatedly read the ones that do apply to the myriad of emotions you are experiencing. I am returning the book to my friend but will buy at least three more copies, one for myself and the rest for friends/family going through similar experiences. The book provides hope when you feel things are at their most hopeless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most helpful book in guiding me through the grief process, October 9, 1999

This review is from: Grieving the Loss of Someone You Love: Daily Meditations to Help You Through the Grieving Process (Paperback)

After the loss of our baby at 13 weeks pregnancy, the death of my father 1 month later, and the death of my grandmother 2 weeks after that, I needed the help and support that this book gave me to guide me through an intense period of grief. The authors helped me to realize my feelings were normal, and that I wasn't going crazy. I have since given this book to my mom, my brothers and sisters, and my best friend who recently lost both her mom and dad within a three week period. Everyone I have given this book to has said how helpful it was to them, also.
