The author's words are honest and candid, as he shares family history and relays with impact, the untimely death of his beloved son. A 'straightforward-deep-from-the-heart-and-soul read.' For anyone who has lost, or is going through the loss of a loved one, you must read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
graceful, raw, full of feeling and restraint,
By Yossi (Sacramento) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Snapshots In Memory Of Ben (Paperback)
At first I was too frightened to read this book -- a true story of every parent's worst nightmare -- the death of his child. But somehow the author brings me in, with a kind of tenderness, truthfulness, parent's humbleness and a graceful way of writing about religious questions without weighing the story down in any way. His spiritual approach is so fresh-hearted that I can't help being lifted -- at least while I'm reading this -- to his poetic and poignant way of experiencing the world.

Victoria Grace Williams comments on Snapshots In Memory of Ben,
This review is from: Snapshots In Memory Of Ben (Paperback)
I found the book to be very moving...a book written from inside knowledge of what grieving is all about...it's not in the words people say to comfort you, but in the silence as they sit with you...saying nothing...but they are there. Most people don't understand that...they are compelled to say something "smart"...there is nothing smart or comforting in the loss of a loved one. There is only learning to live with the pain. And once in awhile...however brief, perhaps a funny memory that allows you to smile instead of cry at the memoryYou did a wonderful thing by writing this for your son and yourself...and your other children.
