5.0 out of 5 stars This book was there for me when nothing else was., 30 May 1999
By A Customer
I have shared this book with friends, family, and acquaintances all over the country. It gets directly to heart of the matter, and is written so that if one page is all you can get through, one page is all you need. I had been referring to my first edition copy for all types of losses for years, when I lost my beloved brother three years ago. I found myself drifting, unable to focus, and this book went everywhere with me. It was the perfect "friend" when I needed one most. The first time I read the book I learned that grief can happen over any loss, and found that I was exactly where I was "supposed" to be each step of the way. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Melba Cosgrove, et. al.!

5.0 out of 5 stars effective and gentle aid to assist in healing and growth, 19 Oct 1998
By A Customer
I first read this book 17 years ago when I was going thru a very painful divorce; it taught me how to nurture and care for myself during that process and I have since given a hundred copies away to others to assist them on their journeys of self-discovery in their lives. This book and it's 3 capable and talented authors offer hundreds of practical suggestions to alleviate suffering and apply some emotional salve to wounded feelings and attitudes. I even learned basic nutrition and some key health concepts from this small, easy to read book. I especially like the simple prose and unpretentious, straigh-forward way the help is presented to you. In keeping with the subject matter, the info is presented in small chunks, often humor or great insight into this common human experience we call Life. I love the poem about being too sad to go to Church; could God make a housecall that day? Buy it; read it; apply it; then email me and tell me I was right. Shalom.

5.0 out of 5 stars It fits every mood..., 21 April 2004
This review is from: How to Survive Loss of a Love (Paperback)
Initially, I was concerned that the book would only deal with people who had lost their love through death (this thought was based purely upon the title of the book) but I soon discovered that this was not the case at all. This book seems to cover so many situations, I am sure that every one would identify with something in it! It is a fantastic read, some things made me chuckle, some made me cry, but it all made me realise that I couldn't posibly be the only one in the world to feel like this and that things would have to improve.
I was so impressed with some of the stuff in this book that I typed some of the passages out and framed them to go on my wall! I would recommend this to anyone who has been (dare I say it!) "dumped", as so much of the material applies.
It made me feel better anyway and I just could not put it down.
