It may be awhile before you can actually read this, but get it for later!

February 9, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Someone suggested this book, after I lost my 32 year old daughter to cancer. I ordered it, tried to read it, and put it down. It stayed stacked with other books, for two years. The beginning of this year I came across it again, opened and read. Now, I can finally read and appreciate it. It is six days until my daughter's birthday (my Valentine's baby), and this excerpt especially touched my heart.
"It surprises us. We know it's a fluke. We know it won't last.Happiness? Contentment? Joy?
And not just a quick flash of joy, of contentment--as when we are lifted up on wings of song--or by prayer--or by a spectacular sky--or because of a daisy blooming in some field. But a sense that in some way we are going to be able, after all this, to be happy! Whoever would have thought it?.......
It is life calling to us--See, you are mine. I have wonders in store for you, believe it or not. And I will wait for you--beneath the snow, if necessary, and beyond the storm."
When I came home this summer from being with my three grand children, I was full of joy and love. A thought came, "Why should I be happy? She is gone, and I'm all alone." I decided right there and then, that I would be happy, period. Was I happy that I had lost my daughter? Never in a million years, nor was I happy with how things happened or turned out, but I chose to be happy in life, despite what had happened, she would have wanted that.
Now that I can finally read this book, it has brought smiles and tears and is helping me heal even more. I wrote this so that those that are walking this road of shards of glass, when it has turned into a path of pebbles, you can pick this up, read and meditate. By the way, it is still a work in progress, I have many more days of happiness, joy and peace since I made that decision than before. Blessings!

A MUST READ TO THOSE OF US LEFT BEHIND

September 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

I lost my husband l0 months ago and a neighbor gave me this book. I cannot explain how many of the daily readings spoke directly to me. These readings are written by people who also have lost a loved one and they spoke of their agony.It seems I was no longer alone. These people shared the same agony I am still experiencing.
OF ALL THE READINGS I HAVE DONE THIS PAST YEAR - THIS WAS THE BEST.! CERTAINLY it doesn't bring my loved husband back but now know I am not suffering alone.
I have purchased several of these books for others. Every one is amazed how these pages seem to speak directly to each one of us.

I ordered this because I had just lost my dog. I know this is probably for human loss but I still pick it up after 8 months to find help. I feel that loss is loss and when you have a dog that is your constant companion for 16 1/2 years, you grieve over them as well.

I look forward to reading this every morning. I'm 57 and my Mom passed away very suddenly August 6, 2016. My Dad passed away 14 months previously - at times it more than I can handle - being no ones child has been a rather rude awakening to me.

Worthwhile Book, Highly Recommended

December 26, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Out of all of the grief recovery books I have turned to after the unexpected and sudden death of my beloved husband, this one is the best. It has chronological entries w/ dates of the year, but at this point I am still just opening it randomly and reading whatever entry I have opened to (& it does not have to be read in order). This book does not "fix" anything. But more often than not, I have felt at least somewhat comforted by the realization, when reading it, that I am not alone in the feelings I am experiencing. At times, I have also come away with a slightly different perspective about those feelings. There are quotations from many different sources, explanations & elaborations, and takeaway thoughts on each page. This is a time when it is almost impossible to read entire chapters--but it is possible to read and digest the single-page entries in this book. This book is not at all preachy & does not give superficial answers. But as someone almost paralyzed by mind-boggling, unrelenting, nearly unbearable grief, I can tell you that it is a worthwhile book to have and to turn to in the midst of your pain.

Essential Reading for the Grieving

February 11, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I don't write many reviews but this book is so exceptional that I had to write a review. My five year old son died suddenly and accidentally in 2013. I thought my life was over. I am an avid reader and bought every book on grieving I could find to try to help me cope and figure out how to keep living.

This little book is far and away my most treasured purchase. If I had to give away my entire library and keep one book, this would be it. The passages are short and easy to read in under five minutes, which is a blessing for those of us dealing with loss of concentration that comes with intense grief. Although short, the passages contain deep, thought provoking, yet simple, gentle and hopeful thoughts for those suffering from devastating loss.

I recently went away for a weekend and although packing space was limited, I took this book with me. That is how much a part of my morning routine it has become. It is not overtly religious, so I would feel comfortable giving this book to anyone, from the most religious person I know to the staunchest atheist. It is intelligent and insightful and does not give way to clichés or trite phrases that we hear all too often. I highly recommend it for anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one. I am purchasing additional copies to family and friends who are also grieving.

Someone gave me a copy of this book when my husband passed away. I found it to be VERY comforting. I have since given copies of Healing After Loss to several friends who have suffered a loss. The daily meditations are short and spot on address your suffering. I will continue to give it to the bereaved.
