When my husband died, I spent a lot of time reading hundreds, perhaps thousands, of pages of "how to" books to help me through the predictably wretched time that followed.

I found more useful comfort in this book through the amazing words of these other people who had suffered a similar loss. While the "how to" books serve a useful purpose, they did not reach me or comfort me -- my emotional self -- nearly as much as reading about the reactions and emotions of those who contributed to the book.

I now give these stories of love, loss, and healing to people when I learn of that they have suffered a similar event. I also recommend it to siblings and friends of such people when the discussion turns to an imminent, or recent death.

Great job!

I gave my sister 4 books when her husband died, and this is the only one she saved things from and mentioned.

I gave this book to my mother in law after she lost her husband and best friend of 35+ years. She has been devestated and was his primary caretaker as he battled a very aggressive cancer. Within reading the first 20 pages, she called us and thanked us for the book. It had brought her clarity and she said made her feel like she wasnt crazy. The book came highly recommended from a friend of mine who went through a similar situation and it has delivered. I hope it helps you find peace.
