Alexandra | 459 comments Finished book #20 A Time to Grieve (Journeying though Grief, Book One) by Kenneth C. Haugk 5 Stars! I just started this series through my church and found it extremely helpful after losing my Mom recently and just two years after losing Dad. For such a short book it had so many great things in it.

Awww, so sorry, Alexandra! Unfortunately, I know what you're going through. Take care of yourself, eat (!), it's okay to cry and it's okay to ask for help.

Take care, sweetie!! ((hugs))

I read that last week, had to force myself not to finish it in 2 days, then went and immediately downloaded the sequel, which was also a quick read! I'm trying to read less, but these two didn't help, they were just too addictive.

I think I have this and The Maid on my lists. There are at least 3 of these types of mysteries out right now. If it's a fast read, I may read sooner rather than later.

Kudos on your progress! :) ... ((hugs))
