Reviews for Healing a Spouse's Grieving Heart

[lynnb_64 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

In this short book, the author offers 100 suggestions to help you deal with the loss of a spouse. What I liked about the book is that the suggestions are practical and concise; they are doable. I also like the way the author recognizes that everyone is unique and affirms that you must grieve and mourn, and it's okay to do it your way. Also, the book is inclusive of same-sex relationships, which I find comforting even though I am a cis gendered heterosexual person.My husband died suddenly and unexpectedly. For me, this was a book I could only read in small doses at this time and it is written to enable you to dip in and out and take what you need when you are ready for it.
