5.0 out of 5 stars The only book I could read after my daughter was killed., June 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: No Time for Goodbyes: Coping with Sorrow, Anger, and Injustice after a Tragic Death (Paperback)

This book helped me tremendously after my daughter was killed by a drunk-driver. I could not concentrate to read long stories or articles, but the experiences of these people who had lost love ones to sudden, violent death spoke to the terrible emotions I was experiencing. I now help other victims of violent crime and I always give them a copy of this book so that they will know that someone else understands.

This review is from: No Time for Goodbyes: Coping with Sorrow, Anger, and Injustice after a Tragic Death (Paperback)

After my father was killed in an industrial accident I went to the bookstore seaching for books on death and grieving. I found no comfort and in fact found myself angered when reading story after story about people who lost their loved ones to a long illness. It broke my heart to read about how they got to tell them that they loved them, something I never got. "No Time For Goodbyes" was the only book that dealt with the shock and reality of telling someone, "have a good day at work," and never seeing them again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended for anyone victim of tragic death, April 12, 2000

This review is from: No Time for Goodbyes: Coping with Sorrow, Anger, and Injustice after a Tragic Death (Paperback)

This book came recommended to me by Parents of Murdered Children. It was comforting to read after the murder of my 20-year-old son. The book covers a lot of ground and I've recommended it to several people who have been victim to a tragic death at any age, children to adult. Affordable, it should be placed in the hands of all those struggling after a violent death. It leads one through the stages of suffering and grief, and lets one know that it is okay to have these feelings, and that one can go on.
