A concise story on some of the raw aspects of grief, and solutions to overcoming them. I find it ironic that the author is also a writer, and the title makes me laugh. But I nodded and agreed with a lot of what this book had to say. I've suffered through two losses of friends in high school, the loss of a home/identity approaching college, and most recently the ultimate devastating loss of my firstborn baby daughter. This book was lended to me by a friend who had a stillbirth. I hope it can help others by recommending it here.

This was an easy, short read thick with insight and advice. Highly recommend for anyone who has experienced the death of a child / children. Especially good for those who may not be big readers. It's short, sweet & concise.

I liked that this was an easy read from a father who lost two sons in an accident. He wasn't preachy, which I really appreciated. And the reminder that the way you grieve is right for you is an important one - people grieve so differently.

This was a very quick read and made some helpful points- not what I was looking for though

Spot on. I recommend this book to anyone who has lost a child or anyone who has tried to support someone who has lost a child.
