The Grieving Time: A Year's Account of Recovery from Loss

by Anne M. Brooks

Like the millions of people who face a time of grieving, Anne Brooks looked desperately for something to read that would offer comfort after her husband's death. Finding nothing that moved her, she began a monthly journal about the deeply personal side of her loss, her loneliness, and her struggle to come to terms with her independence and her new self. The Grieving Time is the intensely moving and deeply comforting account of her recovery-enduring today as the best book for grieving spouses or anyone facing the loss of a loved one through death or divorce. Thousands of counselors, psychologists, social workers, health care providers, ministers, and hospice workers have found it to be one of the most helpful books in their libraries-a testament to its universal significance and appeal.

A dip-your-toes-in-the-water book for anyone who is grieving. Short chapters, simply written, nothing is overwhelming here as Brooks writes her monthly journal of adjusting to the loss of her husband.
