This is the only book that made sense after my husband died 17 years ago. I've given away many copies and recommended it to more people than I can count.

This is the perfect book to encourage and lift up someone who has lost a loved one. I don't know of anyone who has read it and didn't love it.

This is the best resource for anyone that has experienced the loss of someone they love. You can read the whole thing, or just go to a topic that you need help with. It helps the reader to deal with what they are going through and prepare the reader for what might be ahead. I have bought at least 15 copies of this book and give it away to anyone that has experienced a loss.

For the grieving person with limited ability to concentrate, the 2 to 3 page chapters are perfect. This book is written so well and truly validates the complex emotions and issues of grief, yet graceously reminds us of God's love and care through the long and 'rollercoaster' journey of grief. I underlined portions throughout the book. Highly recommended for anyone coping with grief.
