What a help this was to me when my sister, Carrie, died. A dear friend gifted me with it and it was the 2nd most important tool in getting through this ordeal. The first of course, was my faith in Jesus Christ and the comfort I received from my faith and trust in Him.

Parts of this book really helped me during the time my mom was dying of cancer. Comforting and insightful.

A great book to read after a loss of a loved one. I highlighted many passages... This book was given to me by my math professor when I returned to college in my forties. My mother had died very suddenly the second week of class, and this book was a comfort to hang on to. The only way through grief is to go through it and wait for time to march along, but this book was helpful.
