Customer Reviews

Incredibly helpful book!

This book has been incredibly helpful to me during a particularly difficult time in my life. After losing 75 pounds in the last year and a half, my life has dramatically changed. However, that kind of change can be more traumatic than people realize....I was not prepared for how intensely it would affect me (especially in a negative way). I have been working my way out of a pretty deep depression for over a year now and trying to figure out a new way of life and new self-image for myself (which is not as easy as one would think). This book has given me hope as I have been finding my way out of the "black hole" I have been in. It is very "user-friendly" and easy to read, and is written by someone who has experienced first-hand many of the things that she talks about. As I read, I've been able to see myself in each of the stages (right now, I feel I am in the Reorganizing (third) stage....slowly working my way to the last stage - Renewing) and it's so comforting to have my feelings validated....to realize that what I have been feeling is very NORMAL and I'm not going crazy! The book has helped me do lots of thinking and soul-searching as I deal with my situation. She gives good ideas for things to do to help sort out thoughts and feelings. I have recommended this book to many people....and have just bought several more copies to give to friends who I think could be helped by reading it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is dealing with any kind of major change or transition in their life. I LOVE this book!!

I thought it was a great book. I am a recent widow and need all the help I can get. This was very interesting.
