After losing my parents within a three year period in which my oldest child was surviving a terrible divorce, I had seen grief counselors and countless other medical professionals to assist me in trying to deal emotionally, spiritually, and physically with my inability to accept their passing. At a book reading in Key West, I overheard ladies discussing this book and ordered it for myself. At long last, I found someone who had experienced loss in almost the same manner I had experienced it. This was the one source of comfort I found as I tried to believe my extreme grief was not irrational. I have since given this book (along with When Bad Things Happen to Good People) to grieving family and friends.Charlotte Jones Cabaniss Robertsonformer Director of Bay Minette Public Libraryfounding member of Alabama Center for the Book
