Rating:  Summary: Good for Divorces not Deaths Review: This book starts out encompassing and addressing the different losses we can suffer breaking up, divorce and death of a spouse. The grieving portion of this book although small is quite good in addressing the process of grieving and healing.For me I was looking for a book that addressed the issue of starting over again after the loss of a spouse. This book DOES NOT address this issue. The starting over portion of the book,which is 75%, is directed at break ups or divorces. It talks about taking and accepting blame for the break up or divorce. There is no mention at all about starting over after the death of a spouse. If you are coming out of a divorce or a break up this would be a good book. If your wife or husband died I would not recommend this book. There are better books on the market that address this type of loss.
Rating:  Summary: Saved My Life. Review: This book was very helpful for me when I went through a terrible period. I recommend it to anyone who is either going through a break up or a loss. It really helps to get in touch with all of your emotions - especially anger (which is sometimes very difficult to reach) - and get through the situation. I think I would have stumbled along aimlessly much longer had it not been for this book. I was able to let go of so much guilt, anger and sorrow. That was several years ago, and now the entire incident is behind me. If you need some help getting through something painful, please read this book - also get some professional help if you can - but definitely read this book.

Rating:  Summary: A great help for those of us who find ourselves single again Review: This is a wonderful book for those of us who find ourselves suddenly single again after the break up of a long term relationship. It really focuses on how you feel and what you can do about it, to resolve those feelings and come out the other side. There were many ah hah moments for me in the book and I could really identify with a lot of the things I've done now I'm starting over. Full of practical advice, it made me realise how and why I was reacting to many things the way I was. I also found it very encouraging and hopeful and I felt like things really will work out ok. I highly recommend it, after one day I followed its advice, went out on a real "date" and had a great time - it really works!

Rating:  Summary: The Breakup Bible Review: What's refreshing about this book is that it does more than just say "Don't call him!" or "Hang out with your girlfriends more." It focuses on your emotions and how you can heal them so you can move on eventually and find love again. It actually validates your feelings of anger, sadness, and loneliness and even calls them "healing emotions," necessary for healing your broken heart and moving on. Instead of telling you to completely forget about your former partner and not think about him/her all the time, he ENCOURAGES you to think about the good times and what you did as a couple. Gray goes into every emotion with great detail, and gives you plenty of exercises to bring them out so they can be healed. And as a woman, it's refreshing to read a breakup book that doesn't "male bash." It doesn't go on about why men can't commit, blah, blah, blah. Since it's for both men and women, it gives both sides of the story (and surprisingly--or not--we both go through pretty much the same thing!) . And it never says "there is no possibility you'll ever be with this person again, so get over it", but it does state you need to heal from the breakup first before considering getting back together with your former mate. This book will immensely change your life and the way you think about relationships. Most of all, it will help you get through a very painful part of your life...with your sanity intact!
Rating:  Summary: A very comforting book for going through difficult times. Review: Whether you are dealing with death, divorce or any kind of hurtful break-up, this book is for you. It has recently helped me to get back my life after a very painful breakup. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who has ever been in emotional pain.
Rating:  Summary: dangerous advise! Review: While this book had some good ideas, I thought his advise to men to sleep around after a break up was very irresponsible. He admits that many men will be prone to use sex at this time in an addictive way, to numb their feelings, so why encourage them to do so? Even worse, what about the feelings of the women that these men will be USING for their "healing" sex?? nobody deserves to be used that way!
