A Thoughtful Guide for Grieving

"I was not angry I was destroyed." ~pg. 10 There is so much pain in the world, it is rare to find a beautiful book that brings you peace and makes you feel at home. "The Seven T's" is a helpful guide to get you through the grieving process when you have lost someone you love. While Judy Collins focuses mostly on her son's suicide this book is appropriate for anyone who is facing a tragic loss. As you work through anger, denial, acceptance and finally peace it is helpful to read books about loss. This book is comforting and Judy Collins is an excellent writer who effectively captures emotional moments. What I liked most about this book was the personal way it is written. It is also sprinkled with collectible quotes. The most helpful thing you make take away from this book is the affirmations at the start and end of each chapter. This makes the book practical as well as inspiring. While listening to Judy Collins' gorgeous songs I found they capture her ethereal beauty. Imaging how she must have felt losing her son puts me in a deep contemplative mood. Sorrow coming into such a life seems so unfair and yet Judy Collins has learned so much from her experience and has helped so many people face their own sadness. If you are looking for a healing book I can recommend this to you. If you can (after reading this book), listen to some of Judy Collins beautiful music. Her voice soothes the soul. I can also recommend: Final Conversations: Helping the Living and the Dying Talk to Each Other Finding Your Way After Your Spouse Dies A Garden of Love and Healing: Living Tributes to Those We Have Loved and Lost Unspeakable: The Truth About Grief I Wasn't Ready to Say Goodbye: Surviving, Coping and Healing After the Sudden Death of a Loved One Facing the Ultimate Loss: Confronting the Death of a Child Grieving God's Way ~The Rebecca Review
