Two years ago I lost my 19 year old daughter. This book was an invaluable companion in negotiating the anguished terrain of loss. The author also lost a child years ago, and she truly understands the complex and overwhelming thoughts, feelings, and experiences that accompany such an immense loss.

The brief meditations and quotes are about right for our reduced attention span when we are so encompassed in grief. Just reading a page of the book sometimes gives me a ray of hope and inspiration to get me through a rough day.
