Customer Reviews

Simple and very helpful

My closest friend found her husband dead from suicide 2 months ago. It destroyed her. I researched books, and found this one to be right on the mark for her. She reads it again and again and says it is really helping her. Yes, it is Christian, but not at all pushy about it. The book cuts through all the medical detail and presents a lesson on what to expect and how to deal with the different stages of grief on a very personal level.

Standing in the Shadow

I thought this book was wonderful, very easy to read and understand, gets to the point of different feelings you go threw, and gives a christian perspective in dealing with what you cannot control. I am a survivior of the suicide of my husband and this book was very helpful.
