I'm still giving it three stars, because I know to a lot of people it would be useful, it just wasn't for me. This consists of various statements, quotes, and meditations to help people deal with grief. It's sort of a loose format, and doesn't have to be read straight through from beginning to end. There will be a statement (something like "I feel so alone" for example), followed by a quote related to that statement, a couple paragraphs talking about the statement, and then a meditation you can use when you find yourself feeling like that. I didn't really get much out of it, but that's just me. Like I said, I just don't think it was my thing. It happens. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

It did bring me comfort and solace. The book is divided into three sections, to correspond with three "broad and overlapping" (page 2) phases of grief: Retreating, Working Through, and Resolving. Each section has a number of quotes from others who have been through grief, with each quote followed by observations and an affirmation or meditation.
Although it's not recommended to use the book this way, I read it straight through, for the first reading. I found myself turning down the corners of pages where the topics spoke to me. Given that I started reading this a good six weeks after my father's death, it's not surprising that nearly all of my turned-down corners were in the Working Through section (which is also the longest section).
The book has an index to some of the emotions and feelings one might experience during the grief process, so you can go directly to the relevant pages. I expect to go back to this book often in the coming year, folding down new corners, and likely turning others back up.
