This review is from: One Woman's Journey: Recovering from Grief (Paperback)

The writer has an absolute gift for understanding and knowing our inner feelings. Within her book she helps us to resolve the bottled up feelings that were "stuck". Her book greatly helped me through my loss of a loved one even years after the fact. I loaned my book to a friend who had lost his mother and was going through a divorce. He later confessed to me how much it helped through his divorce process as well! I highly recommend it to anyone going through any type of grief.

This review is from: One Woman's Journey: Recovering from Grief (Paperback)

Ruth Foreman has a wonderful gift of clearly articulating feelings and thoughts into words. Her personal account of relating to loss helps one sort through and process the normal feelings associated with grief. Not only does the book help one understand and validate feelings of loss, it voices insights into the intimate and difficult feelings and questions of loss while weaving a riveting story. This book is a must-read for anyone struggling with the loss of a loved one, I highly recommend it!
