[Christian · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great book! It was helpful to read each of these 2-3 pages stories about how other people grieved their loved ones. It was comforting to read this book while I was still grieving the passing of my mother.

[Caitlin Gould · Rating 3 out of 5]

This took me a long time to read just because it brought up so many emotions. The last section of the book made me cry more than I care to admit.
