Review: I was given this book by a Friend when my husband died suddenly and unexpectantly. I gained great comfort and peace from this little book and I then sent it to a friend just recently who had also lost her husband. I highly recommend this book for the comfort it gives.

Review: When my daughter was killed I was inundated with inspirational, uplifting books. I was in great pain, not ready to be uplifted. Someone who knew me well gave me this one.

It is full of poetry & prose about how I was really feeling, not how I SHOULD be feeling. It made me cry a lot, which was the best thing in the world to be doing in the beginning. I was reminded over & over again by characters from the Bible, from the classics, from every walk of life, that I was not the first person to feel this way. It reassured me that I was in stellar company, King David to C.S. Lewis, & I too would recover. I carried it with me for more than a year. Better than a live-in "shrink."
