Summary: Excellent Resource!
Review: After my grandmother passed away, I order a few grief books- this being one of them.
Grieving the Loss of Someone You Love was by far the best book and it helped myself and my family in more ways than words can say.
This is one book that should be in every household, along with extra copies to give away. Highly recommended!

Summary: Most helpful book in guiding me through the grief process
Review: After the loss of our baby at 13 weeks pregnancy, the death of my father 1 month later, and the death of my grandmother 2 weeks after that, I needed the help and support that this book gave me to guide me through an intense period of grief. The authors helped me to realize my feelings were normal, and that I wasn't going crazy. I have since given this book to my mom, my brothers and sisters, and my best friend who recently lost both her mom and dad within a three week period. Everyone I have given this book to has said how helpful it was to them, also.

Summary: Met me where I was
Review: I agree with all the reviews here....the short, meaningful, deep chapters, drawn from the losses each of the authors have experienced, were just what I needed to guide me through when my father died in 94. I keep extra copies on hand to be able to give to friends in their loss. They end up buying extra copies to give to their friends. Very important that the chapters are short and not complex. In the beginning it is very hard for some to read ANYthing, much less something serious. These chapters were just right. I will say that the lastest edition was disappointing. The old edition was a quality soft cover, suitable for gift giving, and durable for the daily use it will receive. The new edition is standard paperback...

Summary: A Blessing For We Who Grieve
Review: I am amazed and inspired by this little book. Every short chapter, written in a daily devotional style like a Christian or 12-step recovery book, has reaffirmed the thoughts and feelings I hesitate to express openly to some people at church. My sister Andrea died unexpectedly 1 week ago (today is 1/6/02) and it's been...hard (and it's hard to find the right word to describe how it's been). I found this book "by accident" at a used book store. Now I am ordering copies so I can give this one to her husband and son. Thank you Jesus for the openess and honesty and truth in this little book, it's going to help with a lot of healthy grieving and healing in the next few years.

Summary: Most helpful and insightful book on grief I've read
Review: I have been given, bought and read (or tried to read)many books since the death of my husband 2 years ago. This little book was given to me by a friend three months ago. Perhaps it is where I am in the grieving process, but I found it to be THE most helpful book I've read. It consists of 70 one and a half page daily meditations. I started reading it that way but I couldn't put it down after a few chapters. I have underlined areas that I have successfully gone through....bookmarked those that I want to return to at a later date. It is a book of hope and help not just for someone who has lost someone they love by death but for anyone who is grieving. I gave copies to my adult children for Christmas and plan to keep copies on hand to share with friends.

Summary: Excellent for the immediate grieving period after death
Review: My father-in-law was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident. This was the only book that my mother-in-law could concentrate on right after it happened. The chapters are short, very specific, and include a short scripture reference. I've just ordered it for a newly-widowed woman at our church.

Summary: Very Helpful
Review: My husband died totally unexpectedly four weeks ago and a friend pressed a copy of this book into my hand about a week later. Even though I was shell-shocked it was very easy to read - you can pick up and put down easily - skip the chapters that do not yet pertain to how you are feeling and repeatedly read the ones that do apply to the myriad of emotions you are experiencing. I am returning the book to my friend but will buy at least three more copies, one for myself and the rest for friends/family going through similar experiences. The book provides hope when you feel things are at their most hopeless.

Summary: Many thanks for having this book available.
Review: My very best friend died unexpectedly 2 weeks before Christmas and was told of this book by a family members co-worker who happens to be a counselor. I borrowed the book and couldn't put it down. I had to have my own copy. Every page was explained in words I could understand. The book was inspirational and truly helped me deal with my emotions.
