5.0 out of 5 stars Recovering from Losses in Life by H. Norman Wright, December 7, 2007
This review is from: Recovering from Losses in Life (Paperback)
An absolute MUST for every person. When we think of loss, we can tend to limit it to the loss of a loved one. However we may have lost our lifestyle which we were so comfortable with, our home, lost our dreams, our passions, our motivation for life, our job, forcing us too accept realities that are painful, which paralyse us from moving forward, bringing out anger, frustration and depression. Unless these losses are effectively dealt with, it will be hard to move forward and embrace the new things that lie before us. This book is an excellent tool in equiping a person through the grieving process towards wholeness and new strength. A book for life!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!, December 18, 2008
This review is from: Recovering from Losses in Life (Paperback)
I found this book at the lowest point of a break up/not break up session with my ex boyfriend. Long story short, he was telling me he wanted me back, but not until he did some dating around. I was stuck in pain and depression, wanting him back, but not wanting to wait around for him to do his thing. Reading this book helped me to understand that it is a loss, even if there is some sort of hope for a future. It was Biblically based without cramming religion down your throat. I wrote down so many quotes in my journal from this book, I probably should have bought it instead of checking it out from the library! Anyway, this book helped me to make the decision to remove myself from my exboyfriend's life to let him make his choices without them affecting me.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Recovering from Losses in Life (Paperback)
This book makes you examine how you treat all losses in life, not just death. It helps you realize how even small events can shape your life. I think this book is beneficial to anyone grieving or depressed, and can be a great parenting tool for anyone with children.
