5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite Images to Help You to Heal Through Any Loss, August 19, 2001

This review is from: To Heal Again: Towards Serenity and the Resolution of Grief (Paperback)

The simplicity of this book is its power. The author and illustrator combine their immense talent to give us images in which we can linger as long as we need until we are ready to move on. Despite your religious or spiritual reference, this book transcends boundaries that might exist and speaks to us of renewal and transformation. One can read it over and over again and be touched in new ways with each reading. Often I have used it to take to a friend, slowing down to read it out loud to them, sharing its peace. Through many deep losses in my own life, this treasure has been one I return to. I deeply regret it is not now available and encourage you to ask for it to be made available. It is a gift to yourself and to anyone you love who is grieving from death, from the loss of part of oneself, from addiction.... Highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful, soul-warming work of love., January 2, 1999

This review is from: To Heal Again: Towards Serenity and the Resolution of Grief (Paperback)

This book (lovely in words and pictures) has been so understanding and helpful for my friends dealing with death that I have just ordered my seventh copy. I keep several on hand because I have never seen a sympathy card or another book that so gently touches and reassures the most hurting spirits. The understanding message it conveys is beautiful, loving and truthful.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, simple book that understands grief completely., July 11, 1998

Rusty Berkus's book is a beautiful book that gives people permission to grieve. It lets you know that all the feelings that you are experiencing are normal and appropriate. The words are simple and meaningful and help you through all the stages of losing a loved one. I picked the book up often over a period of years and each time I found new meaning in each page. It is a perfect gift for someone who has lost a loved one and needs to be reassured that the grief they feel is OK.
