I am really enjoying this book and looking forward to the one being released in May regarding a similar topic. The author relates to the problem in not only a professional manner, but from the vantage point of experience as well.

This book is just what you need when you don't know what to do to help a friend who is going through some hard times especially when he/she is experiencing grief. I recommend this book because it answers the "whys", "what to pray" and "how to help/what to do" type questions. I've referred back to it several times to help my friends. Dr. Wright knows what he's talking about.

Recovering from the Losses of Life is excellent. We used it as our text and discussion material for three grief groups in our church. Everyone is so impressed with the content, and with how it revealed losses in their lives that they had not recognized as such, nor grieved over.
It is very helpful in equipping people to be prepared to deal with losses before they occur, and for helping people work through their grief after the fact. The book is especially helpful in a format where people can express their feelings and experiences, since this is a vital part of working through grief towards recovery from losses.
Easy to read, yet worthwhile in content. Great price, too!
