Becoming Myself : Living Life to the Fullest After Losing Your Parents

Rating:
Summary: Beautiful Guidance and Insight
Review: Shari Butler did a wonderful job in this book to help people who have lost their parents learn how to transform grief and sadness into embracing your gifts, transforming tragedy into new-found personal triumphs, as well as "owning" positive qualities that your parents had, and how you can incorporate the best they had into your life. Guided with wonderful exercises, encouragement, and compassion from someone who has been there herself, this book will help you to move forward, and keep the best of your parent alive with you as you grow and bloom into everything you came into this life to be. Highly recommended!

Summary: Orphaned
Review: This book spoke to me with clear and percise honesty. i am an orphan...both parents dead while I was still young. But, I had also come from an abusive home as well so there was mixed guilt involved. I missed my parents, and yet glad at the same time that "one" of them is gone. The guilt of trying to learn to live without the thumb on my head was difficult. This book has made it possible to leanr to live and trust and actually grow as a human.
It is a must read...
I also want to mention for those looking for other self healing,memoir style books: Nightmares Echo, Sickened,Running With Scissors.
