Rick Whiteside and Frances Steinberg have written a wonderful guide to getting through some of the most difficult times people face. When Your Lover Leaves You is sensible and compassionate, and keeps you focused on the all-important realizations that not only is there life after a breakup, there are skillful ways of managing intense feelings. I recommend this book highly - it's short, it's focused, and it's practical...exactly the way it should be for people in distress who are looking for smart ways to cope with loss.

Delightful and highly useful.

A year out from seperation I was still of a mind that one of the most miserable things one human being does to another, is betrayal. This groovy little book took me back to emotions of shock and anger and gently walked me through to a place I now cherish, freedom to do and be the person I am.

Incredible book - can't recommend it enough!

After just getting out of a long-term relationship and being devestated by it, I picked up this book and boy has it helped! It is thorough and concise without getting wordy or technical. An absolute must for those whose hearts have been crushed - helps you to recognize and get through all of the stages of a breakup a little easier.
