Summary: A must for encouraging someone through the grieving process.
Review: This book is a must for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. I found the short meditations helpful for days when I couldn't concentrate for very long. Other days, I would read two or three of the meditations. They have all addressed issues I could relate to and personally was experiencing. An excellent book for encouraging anyone going through the grieving process.

Summary: A Practical, Compassionate Guide to Struggling with Grief
Review: Two years ago my husband died in a rock climbing accident. My 2 children, myself, and our whole community were totally devastated. Other books people gave me seemed trite, cook-bookish, or extremely psychological. I happened upon this little
book in a bookstore, and found it to be the most helpful of any I read. It has short (1 1/2 page) daily readings which I found brought up emotions and issues that I had been feeling, but perhaps didn't know how to put into words, or how to organize these thoughts in my mind. There were several readings dealing with children and grief. I often used these readings as a jumping-off point for my own personal journal writing, and was comforted to realize that others had gone through similar emotions and thoughts as I had. I have bought 5 copies to give to friends experiencing grief, and am buying 2 more today.

Summary: A practical way to cope with grief daily
Review: When my Mom died, I experienced grief for the first time. It was a very odd experience. A friend gave me this book. It helped me to understand my feelings and to cope with them. I have given it to each friend since who is experiencing grief. Although written from a Christian world view, my non-Christian friends have appreciated the practical approach the authors take.
