This books gives you various people who opened their heart to share with the reader the struggles they went through on losing a love one. I'm so appreciative of the Wilson and David and their journey as men usually don't open up as well as women.

This book also give you insight to the same people who opened their hearts to share with the reader the peace they found in the acceptance of the death of a love one while still being allowed to remember them - for sometimes they still struggle with the fact they are still living without them.

I have sent this book to friends who have lost loved ones on the first year anniversary of the death.

We lost our son 2.5 years ago, and I found that this book addresses so many of the aspects one faces in trying to grieve in a healthy way. It would make an excellent resource for anyone who has suffered a devastating loss, or for someone who is trying to understand and/or help someone who has suffered a loss. The authors share many practical and faith-based suggestions and tips.

Excellent book for anyone who has experienced divorce, death or disease. If you have not experienced those things, you should buy the book and give it to someone who has. Excellent, excellent resource.
