I received a copy of this book when my husband passed away. It is simply written and takes the reader through the various stages of grieving to recovery. It's as though the author is right there walking beside you. And he knows what you're going through.

I was expecting a more in-depth book about grieving, rather than short poetic lines about shock, suffering, and recovery. The book did have good information, just not as detailed as I had expected and hoped for.

The book's back cover quotes this review from the Minneapolis Star, "If you're far away when someone you care about is in mourning, send this book - it's the next best thing to being there. And if you doubt whetheryour being there will do any good, read this book, and you will learn how to become the wise, reassuring, and understanding person a good friend is when a loved one has died."
