A breath of fresh air

When my husband died, I spent a lot of time reading hundreds, perhaps thousands, of pages of "how to" books to help me through the predictably wretched time that followed.I found more useful comfort in this book through the amazing words of these other people who had suffered a similar loss. While the "how to" books serve a useful purpose, they did not reach me or comfort me -- my emotional self -- nearly as much as reading about the reactions and emotions of those who contributed to the book. I now give these stories of love, loss, and healing to people when I learn of that they have suffered a similar event. I also recommend it to siblings and friends of such people when the discussion turns to an imminent, or recent death. Great job!
