I heard Alan Wolfelt speak at a conference in Tucson in 1994. I had recently lost my dad and my husband had lost his mom. We both were hurting though our parents were elderly and not well, it still was a tremendous loss. I initially purchased this book sometime after hearing him speak. I also had handouts from the conference that I shared with others in times of grief. Just recently I wanted a copy of this book for a friend who lost her husband. I could think of no better reference. Wolfelt wrote from a point of view of one who had personally suffered loss and knew things don't neatly fit in boxes. This book recognizes the need for freedom to be where you're at. Others may feel awkward over your situation and feel they know where you should be. Every loss is unique for every relationship is unique. This book helps bring understanding. And can give needed permission to travel through grief at your own pace. I was happy to find this copy for my friend.

My wife Patti died six years ago. My daughter Kristen died two years ago. I was "stuck" in the myths about grief and mourning. I didn't realize they are not the same. Where I came to this book with a bit of an "I don't need this" attitude, it turns out that I did and do. The lessons to be learned between these covers are invaluable. I highly recommend it to anyone who has experience the death of a loved one, no matter how many years have passed.

I run a bereavement group and this is the bible in our group. It is very comprehensive and easy to understand. We use it to help others cope with the emotions of losing a loved one.

excellent help on grief

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2015

This is an excellent book it is different from some I have read, this one tells you what you are feeling instead of telling the steps, in death of a loved one there are no steps just learning to cope eveyday, this book tells you you are normal. I think this was one of his first on understanding grief.

This book is very helpful with your grief process. You can always refer back to it when you are experiencing things you don't understand. My Son was killed in a motor cycle accident and this book has helped alot. I also sent on to my Daughter-in-law. She said that it was very helpful to her as well.

Yes the questions at the end were helpful, but too wordy to ask a simple question. I'm a guy, I prefer a more simple approach. I will however start the authors 2 nd book.
