This is a very small and short book but a good one if you have lost a loved one or have a family member who is terminal. I bought it for my sis in law but read it myself first.

This book has very short chapters detailing experiences the author has with terminally ill patients and their families. It's not the best book I've read on this subject, but can still be helpful to some.

This book is phenomenal for people who have lost a loved one. It helps them through the grief process. I highly recommend this book.

Given to me by a friend after my fathers passing, this book was a source of comfort.

This book was not what I really wanted to read or hear. It is ok, but quite sad. Don't know if I would really recommend it to someone after the lost of a spouse.

Easy read and helpful. Found there was a lot of content about children but the overall idea was good.
