This was a good read with lots of practical suggestions. It is an earlier book of the couple's and it shows. While I love hearing their experiences and insights, this one seems to be less...mature. So many of the suggestions are dated and "absolute". Meaning, they offer them as the best choice regardless of different circumstances. This is also a secular book, but one of the few I have seen that has a spiritual component for grief. They focus a huge amount of time to the grief of having a child die rather than the grief of a child with disabilities even though their personal experience is with losing a child who had disabilities. So...while this was a great book, I absolutely loved their newer book "Jesus Wept".
