PRAISE FOR LIVING WITH LOSS: MEDITATIONS FOR GRIEVING
WIDOWS!
"With the
loss of my husband at age 44, I was devastated. This book was
a gift and I read it everyday. I have never read anything that
described my exact feelings as this book did. I vowed to give
it to every new widow afterwards that I knew personally. I cannot
believe it is out of print. This book need to be on the shelves
for all widows..as the previous reviewer wrote, it is just enough
daily reading for the troubled, confused mind. I love this book!"
"This book was incalculably helpful
to me as I walked numbly through the first year after my husband's
death. I received many books from well-intentioned friends, but
couldn't find much enthusiasm for reading much at a sitting. This
book is in a "daily meditation" format, presenting one
idea per day, on one page. This was not too much for my grief-stunned
attention span, and dealt with real issues in direct language.
I appreciated it so much. I heartily recommend this book for all
widows who want to remember, and to gently help themselves heal."
"I thought the book would be
full of misery and "I miss him so" stuff, but instead
it speaks to real issues of anger and going it alone - there are
periodic opportunites to write letters to the missing spouse and
all types of marriage relation-ships are covered."
