I lost my husband 63 weeks ago. Dr. James Dobson sent me my first copy of this book and since then I've purchased at least 50 copies and given them as gifts. I've even gotten our funeral home to start stocking these books to give out to people instead of the AfterCare package they gave to me. It is one of the best books I've found when living with grief as a constant companion. No book will ease the pain but this book gives me something to hold onto until I can be with my husband again. I've read it three times and will read from it everyday for the rest of my life.

My mother read this book after losing Dad. She said it was so helpful to her that she wanted to order a copy for each of her daughters. This is how I came to order 3 copies from Amazon. I have not read the book myself yet, but Mom loves it, and Amazon made the order easy.

This book has given me great comfort. It has helped me afirm my beliefs in God's plans for me. And it's let me know there are many others who are going through the same feelings as me. It has supported me in my grief.

I lost a son last November 19th 2005. He was killed by a semi-truck. I was
depressed all the time. I won't say I'm better But I understand more. He would have been 19 on May 16th 2006. He joined The Army National Guard on the delay program. He just finished Basic Training. He was my 1st born. It was the hardest thing for me to go through. But my dad's friend from church
gave me this book to help me understand also to help me greive. I will say this YOU WILL GREIVE TILL YOU GO TO HEAVEN> Then you will GREIVE NO MORE!!
I reccomand this to anyone who's lost a LOVED ONE!! A GREAT BOOK STILL READING IT OVER AND OVER!!

When I lost my husband several years ago, my sister gave me a copy of this book. Since then, I have read many books on grief.

Written from a Christian perspective, it covers many aspects of loss, things I would have never thought about. It also covers all kinds of loss.

Since receiving it, I have given a copy to a number of people who have lost loved ones. I have heard that it has been helpful to them as well. I would strongly recommend it.

This is a wonderful tool to work through the journey of grief on the way back to joy. The devotions are inline with the GriefShare support group sessions and video sessions. Each day a person is without a loved one is full of pain and loneliness and this book gives help to work through those days. I wished I had it after my first husband had passed away.

Reading this book did so much to help save my life, emotionally, after my mom died. I couldn't face my "normal" devotion time in the morning because nothing was normal and I couldn't pretend that it was. Instead, I used this book during my morning quiet time for almost a year. What a blessing it was. I gave one to my dad as well, and he has read and reread it, often commenting about how wonderful a book it is. Thank you to the authors for providing something so needed for those who are freshly grieving. I love you Mom!

I was introduced to this this book through the Griefshare website. You can sign up to receive as 365 daily emails the devotions that are in this book. I have found them so helpful as I walk through this difficult process. I am planning on buying several copies of the book for my pastor to give to families he does funerals for.

My 7 year old grandson went to heaven just 6 months ago and I am having a rough time dealing with the hole this has left in my life and watching my daughter and son-in-law in pain 24-7. This book gives me spurts of comfort. I find myself picking it up at various times every day, along with my Bible. I have a hard time concentrating on long books but this is just a page at a time with a short prayer. I would certainly recommend it.

Grief has to be handled slowly and in bite-sized pieces. It is hard work. In this devotional book, each day's reading is a bite-sized piece! Probably takes no more than a couple minutes to read and contains just one thought to digest. Just enough for a person to handle at one time. Excellent resource for those who are grieving the loss of someone special.
