Purchased the book because I knew one of the Dad's. Gave it to a father that had lost a son in a car wreck. Think it is a must read for any Dad who has lost a child. Also made me aware that healing takes forever and to be sensitive to families that have experienced this type of loss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good to read, even if you haven't lost your own child., September 24, 2009

This review is from: Tuesday Mornings With the Dads (Paperback)

A friend gave this book to me because he's one of the fathers in the book. I read it in one sitting, touched by the stories of people I've never met. I have two very close friends who have lost children - I have not lost a child - and I immediately sent a copy of the book to each of them. It's impossible to know the "right" thing to say to a friend who's experiencing something you can't imagine, so sharing this book is my way of putting my friends in touch with someone who actually can imagine what they're experiencing. Thanks to the authors for putting your pain into words that can help others.
