If you have been recently bereaved, read this book. If you know someone who has lost someone close, buy them a copy of this book and get them to read it. It will help them enormously. The author has written a deeply-felt, very thoughtful and supportive work here. It guides you through the seven stages of bereavement, and helps you recognise that everything you are feeling is normal. The author discusses her own experience of widowhood at an early age and includes short quotes from bereaved and divorced people she has interviewed. As a result, the whole approach is extremely sympathetic and gently encouraging. It is like the author takes you hand and personally guides you from the point of impact right through to reintegration into a normal, rebuilt life.
I cannot recommend it highly enough and would give it six or even seven stars, if I could.

After losing my husband at the age of 33 I found myself with nobody in the same situation to share my feelings with. This book helped me focus the feelings I had, which were often so overwhelming and confusing. I found myself reading her quotes of other people's feelings and experiences and saying "yes - that's it - I feel that too". The book was such help to me that I buy a bunch of them from time to time and share them with friends who lose someone close to them.

This is THE book to read when you lose someone.
This book helped many of us who were part of a young widows/widowers support group. We used each chapter as a discussion guide! Best wishes to anyone in need.
