Rating: Summary: After Goodbye Review: I think this is a marvelous little book. Ted Menten puts everything in perspective pertaining to grief. I cherish this little book.
Rating: Summary: "Fluff" isn't necessarly bad...and this book is quite good. Review: One reviewer said this book was little more than "fluff". I believe that lots of people look too much to external sources for the "magic bullet" to make them quit grieving.In my grief (widowed) I have found that this book was one that really got it right, and one of the biggest things to give me support was just being able to read someone who understood what I was going through. Menten, while I don't think he was a widower like me, somehow does a fantastic job in getting it right. I would highly suggest this book and will give it to other widows/widowers in the future.
Rating: Summary: not for me --- though highly recommended Review: thank heavens there are lots of books out there on grieving. This one was NOT for me, but I am glad to see that it has been helpful for others.
Rating: Summary: not for me --- though highly recommended Review: This tiny book evokes tears, smiles and nods of understanding as Ted Menten's vignettes hold our hands through the process of grief. As a counselor myself, it is evident that this author has spent many hours in the company of grief. The beauty of his book is that it embraces and validates what only grievers know: you don't get over things and move on, but you move on holding your loved one forever in your heart.
