Every Day Comfort

I was given a copy of this book after my husband died, and found it most helpful. The sub-title is misleading, as is not limited to the first 30 days of grief-- actually meant more to me later in the grief process. I have purchased and given away 18 copies. Six years after the death of my husband, I still pick this book up and re-read portions.

Understated title for this excellent book!

My mother died in November of 1996 after years of battling MS and cancer. I thought I was ready, but it hit me like a ton of bricks! I was unwillingly admitted to the "Mom's Gone Club", felt isolated and the range of emotions associated with the death of a loved one. I was given a copy of this book, and it touched my heart and soul like no other. It helped keep my focus, in manageable ways, on God and His ultimate comfort and hope. I keep several copies on hand to give to others who are facing grief. Kudos to Mr. Becton for this great work!

Right on!

This book really is comforting. I didn't start it until about a month after my husband of only 8 1/2 months passed away, but now I'm reading it a second time around. It's uncanny how timely each day's reading has been. I'm ordering it now for a friend who was recently widowed. I highly recommend it.
