Kate Motaung came to know Grief most intimately when her mom was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 50 and battled with the disease for nine years before the Lord called her home. She realizes, however, that everyone endures loss in their own way. Grief isn't always a linear process, but more often a cyclical journey. Through these letters and reflections, you will find encouragement and hope to deal with loss and grief in your own circumstances.

Thank you for writing these letters for me as I too grieve.

July 5, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

How can I read this book with its so-personal feelings and insights into grief? It hurt -- for you see, just 3 weeks ago our daughter died a sudden death, only 42 years old, to viral pneumonia. So fast -- within 12 hours of being taken to emergency. My wife and I couldn't even get there in time to say "good-bye" -- yet through grief and hope we always will have her with us.

The author's hope is that my heart would resonate with her sentiments. So poetic, so in-the-heart, so hopeful but also realistic. The author's hope is that through her letters to grieving readers, they would find "encouragement and hope." But I know there's no magic, no shortening of the process of grieving. Time may not heal. But I treasure this grief, as the author does also. I understand it's because God brought into my life a precious daughter whom I love and always will.

Thanks so much, Kate, for sharing your heart. Just by doing that you do bring me hope and a measure of comfort. Our God is using your honesty expressed so movingly, without being maudlin. Thank you.

Hope Woven Throughout

December 11, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Kate's words ring honest throughout this book, and you'll find yourself immersed, flipping through page after page, unable to stop reading her letters to grief. Her deeply personal experiences cry out from every page of this book, and yet it seems like something that was written personally, for me. Grief is a multifaceted, complex process that greets each person different, and yet Kate's letters sound like a cry from my own heart, not just her own.

The best part of this book is the hope woven throughout. In the end, grief will have no hold. Kate faces grief head-on in this book, and yet she knows who will win out in the end. It's a beautiful message of hope and endurance.

Lyrical Letters Laced with Hope

December 12, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This short collection of letters exposes the many faces of grief and paints pictures of the constant companion that lingers in our lives long after the grief-invoking event has passed. Inside every picture the artist has painted a shaft of Light that illumines the hope that awaits despite the pain of the moment. If you want to become better acquainted with the 'grief process' this book is for you (although you will discover it's not the process you may have thought it was). If you find grief a constant companion or a fickle friend, this book is for you, too (you'll find hope and assurance).

A Short Read Which Brings Great Comfort

April 29, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I bought this book because I enjoy the author's writing, but honestly, I never read it because reading a book on grief when I wasn't grieving seemed hard. Last month marked the anniversary of a relative's death, a relative who died very young. I remembered the book, and I spent the morning reading "Letters to Grief". Motaung's words brought me great comfort, and I pray they are used to comfort other readers as well.

Dealing With Grief and Loss is Not a Process!

February 3, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book is so moving and takes dealing with grief to another level. Many have said there is a process for dealing with grief, but I agree with the author, that there is no process involved. Grief never truly goes away and somedays can blindside you even after you think you have gone through the steps of dealing with the loss. Great read. I recommend it to everyone.

She gave words to my pain

May 5, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Kate put words to the pain in my heart that some how lifted the sadness out of my heart to allow some healing to come in and what a relief it was to have words to express my sorrow in a new way. It was like she knew what I need to say but couldn't find the exact words. I'm sorry that someone else knew the same sorrow I knew but it was a comfort that was a blessing from our God.

A Therapeutic Read

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I love how Kate describes grief in different ways in this book. Full of surprising imagery and lovely turn of phrases, Kate writes from the depths of her own experiences, assuring us that it's okay to love and hate grief at the same time. For those of us who believe in Jesus, there will be a day when we'll have no more pain or grief. But until then, we'll learn to live with it.

Very Healing!

Read this entire book in less than an hour. It is really sweet and Kate did an awesome job speaking to the part of her own soul that mourns, allowing the reader to explore their own losses and grief without feeling silly. I would say this is a collaboration of journal entries. Worth the read, especially if you are new to experiencing loss.
