Customer Reviews

Very Comforting and Enlightening

This is an excellent book for people who have lost a loved one or who have had experienced other life-altering situations in their life. The authors are knowledgeable on this subject because of their profession and, more importantly, because they have experienced these things personally. Between the covers of this book are countless words of comfort and knowledge concerning potentially unbearable events in our life. I would strongly recommend this book if only for the fact that much can be understood and learned from it. Once someone reads it, they will most certainly want to share it with others who find themselves in similar situations.

helpful

I got this book for my daughter and son in law after the loss of their infant child. It was a great help for them emotionally. I would recommend it to anyone who is in grief over the loss of a child.

Excellent Book!

I have always thought that grief was about death. I learned from this book that many of our difficulties in life have grief associated with them. When our "assumptive world" begins to fall apart, we experience grief whether it is due to a death, some kind of tragedy, or any kind of loss. The Ashton's work on grief is perfect for the LDS individual who knows that the knowledge of the gospel and the plan of salvation doesn't take the pain away. After all, Jesus wept. Not because he didn't know God's plan, not because he feared all was lost, but because he loved Lazarus, and grieving is normal and natural. You will absolutely LOVE the Ashton's after you read their personal encounters with loss and their wisdom about healing.
