all i can tell you of this book is my mother credits a large percentage of her still being on this planet after the death of her 16 year old daughter in a car accident to the insights in this book of poetry--it is a series of poems about the loss of her son, mostly written as appeals to god, and it certainly brings the reader face to face with their anger and sadness, so they can move on and face the future with a little less hopelessness.

This book is terrific for anyone stuggling with the tragides of life, espechally sudden death or serious or chronic illness. It is plea to God for help, understanding and solice for those burdened by the unfairness that is life. It has been a source of comfort to read these each night. Sad as they, are they are cathartic

When my son was killed in an auto/pedestrian accident two years ago, I read books that were given to me, books that were recommended by therapists, and books that I randomly bought in search of any source of solace. Ann Weem's "Psalms of Lament" spoke the words my heart has been crying. Especially Lament Psalm Forty-Nine. Like Ann and Rachel, I will never be comforted; until God wipes the tears from my eyes.

If you are grieving this is a good book to let you know that you aren't alone. It helped me to release some of my grief. You will need tissues

Very good book for someone who is in a great deal of grief, having trouble because of the loss of a very close friend or relative.

Good for anyone who has experienced the death of someone close, perhaps due to tragedy, like a lover, a spouse, parents, and the hardest of losses: the loss of a child or teenager.

Anne Weems pours out her heart and reaches the sadness and overwhelming grief that many feel. I ordered this book for a friend who lost both of her children in an automobile accident.

This is one of the best books that I have ever purchased. I have used it time and again for many devotional times in churches and Christian educational events.
