- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My cousin and his wife sent me this book after the recent death of my father, with a note that it had brought him "some comfort and solace" as he'd lost his mother just seven months before.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.© Amanda Pape - 2017[I received this book as a gift from my cousin, and plan to hang on to it for a while.]
