Customer Reviews

WONDERFUL book for those that are grieving

As a survivor of my son's death in 2001, this book was given to me by an acquaintance. It has helped me over and over. During the initial stage of grief when it is hard to focus on much of anything, the one-page topics really trigger you to think and help ease the pain. The phases of grief are very much like the changing seasons; the author does an excellent job making this reference. It is an excellent read as far as logic and spirituality. I would highly recommend it for anyone.

Extremely Practical with Spiritual Depth

As a therapist I have found this title to be very helpful in counseling grieving clients. I haven't found another book like it on the market because it's so practical and yet has a depth to it which only a person who has experienced grief can express. A grieving person can use it at any step in their grief recovery--whether they have just lost a loved one or are still grieving a death which occurred years ago. The way the author uses the seasons of the year is quite extraordinary. I use it in conjuntion with the author's "Bereavement Handouts" and have recommended this book to clients, other mental health clinicians, and even my local funeral home as an expression of sympathy to a grieving individual.

Simple, Practical, Helpful--VERY unique grief book.

As a clinician, I have found this book to be helpful with my clients who are grieving--no matter what stage they are in. It's very practical--going through the seasons of the year. The author has obviously had extensive experience with grief, both personally and professionally.
