Book Description

April 1, 1999
Help and Hope for Those Who Grieve It can happen suddenly or take what seems an eternity. No matter how it comes, the death of a loved one hits like an avalanche, pouring down thunderous heartache and resulting in constant pain, sadness, and emptiness. The questions come at breakneck speed until you finally have to ask your-self, "Will I ever be whole again?" This wonderfully sensitive book by Sandra Aldrich is not written from impersonal observation but from her own grueling experience with the loss of her husband to cancer. Her insight is comforting, her wisdom soothing, and her direction inspiring. If you or someone you know has lost a loved one to death, this survival book will point the way to recovery. "In this book, Sandra Aldrich opens the door of her own grief experience, welcoming the grieving and serving as a travel companion along our journey toward healing. " -Elisa Morgan, President/CEO, Mothers of Preschoolers International, Inc. "Sandra Aldrich delivers practical advice, offers warm answers, shares tender moments from her own heart, and reminds us all that God can and will bring good things out of our hurt. " -Susie Shellenberger, Editor, Brio magazine, Focus on the Family "I found this book uplifting, for at the center of Sandra's story is a man named Jesus who died as God, providing the human race with hope and life in another world." -John Canine, Director, Maximum Living

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on grief, October 15, 1999
This review is from: Will I Ever Be Whole Again? Surviving the Death of Someone You Love (Hardcover)
Sandra pulls you in to her personal life and grief and showsyou not only how to survive it yourself, but how to help others aswell. It is heartwarming and honest. I've read the first version, "Living Through the Loss of Someone You Love" and this new version has all of the same poignant personal stories plus more insight and help on the grief process. Sandra offers up her own personal--and successful--experience in addition to the "self-help" format. As you're reading this book and wake up grief-stricken in the middle of the night and ask yourself, "Is this normal?" the answer you get is from someone who's been there--and who also shows she truly is an expert. Great to give to someone who is grieving when you just don't have the words yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Healing for the Emptiness Inside, October 18, 2011
By 
If the loss of your loved one has left a gaping hole in your heart, this book provides keys to healing. The author's 38-year-old husband died of brain cancer after 16 months of treatment, leaving a 10-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter, and stress-induced lupus to manage. Her welcoming and conversational writing style, plus years of experience as a teacher, funeral home representative and editor for Focus On The Family make this a book appropriate for caring friends and caregivers in addition to those grieving the loss of a loved one.
Each of the 13 chapters are well-organized with clearly marked points for easy reference. A list of simple reminders at the end of each chapter provides helpful summaries and quotes. A study guide makes this book useful for grief support groups and widows discussion groups.
I especially recommend "Will I Ever Be Whole Again?" for widows of cancer, widows with children, and as a guide to grief during the first two years of loss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it and read it again..., November 8, 2010
This review is from: Will I Ever Be Whole Again? Surviving the Death of Someone You Love (Hardcover)
I bought this book when I was seeking a book to understand the things my sister in law was doing after her husband died. It just so happened that the book I went to find was not there, and I bought this one. I read it, and I read it again. I've read it numerous times and highlighted things that touched me deeply. I always recommend it to anyone I know who is facing grief, or wants to understand and help someone who is.
