Summary: Comfort for the Grief Journey
Comment: This is a reassuring, comforting book for you on your personal grief journey. Grief is a journey and it is unique and personal for each one of us. Each page throughout the year offers a short but understanding message by the author, whose 16-year old daughter died suddenly during a family vacation. The author has written many other books and she found writing to be a beneficial therapy for her. I have found her thoughts to be far more comforting than the standard books on grief that break it into stages or offer specific activities for the grieving. The author provides a thoughtful quote each day and helpful meditation on that quote. The author is a Christian but her writing is very respectful of all persons' beliefs. Among all the books that I read following the death of my loved one, I have found this to be the most helpful because it gave DAILY comfort. And on a daily basis, you realize that others have made their journey before you, so you are not alone. I have bought at least 6 additional copies of this book to give to others who have experienced the death of a loved one. My thanks to this author, Martha Whitmore Hickman.

Summary: Extremely helpful for grieving
Comment: I read this book myself after my father died, and I've given it to several friends after they've lost loved ones. We've all found this little book of one-page daily meditations to be very helpful as we worked through our grief. This could be much more soothing than flowers for anyone who is grieving.

Summary: Healing After Loss
Comment: I have bought several copies of this book. I was given this book after my daughter of 18 committed suicide by a person I did not know, but who also had lost a child. I liked it because it was not too religious (a little) and very practical. It talked about feelings I had and I felt that she knew exactly what I was going through. Now I give out the book to people I know whose children have died, and they carry on the same tradition.

Summary: Very helpful book
Comment: This book should be in every household. It is very simple to use, it has one page for each day of the year. My sister used it following the death of her beloved husband and now she is living life to the fullest once again. I bought two, one to keep and one to pass on to someone in need.
