5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent grief book, May 6, 2002

This review is from: Letter to a Grieving Heart: Comfort and Hope for Those Who Hurt (Hardcover)

This is a wonderfully gentle book on grief. As a grieving person this was the first book I could really connect with. He doesn't sugar-coat how difficult the process is, but he does give hope. It's a very easy read that let's you know that it does really hurt this bad, but you will get through it.

This review is from: Letter to a Grieving Heart: Comfort and Hope for Those Who Hurt (Hardcover)

After my husband died of cancer at age 37 leaving me to raise our 10 and 12 year old children alone, I read every book on grief I could get my hands on. This was one of the first ones I read, and it was the most helpful. It put into words exactly what I was feeling and validated my grief. The pictures were beautiful and comforting. Since then I have ordered multiple copies of this book to give to others who have lost loved ones. Time and again I have heard how this book has helped others through those first few dark weeks after a death. It is a book of solace and hope. I would recommend it to anyone who has experienced a loss.

I was given this book by a special friend following the passing of my beloved husband of forty years. I tried several times to read it and could not, but when the time was right, I found this to be of great comfort in my healing process. I have since given this book to several others who have lost loved ones and will continue to do so. Thank you, Billy Sprague for this wonderful book.
