AMAZING!!!!!!!!! by Optimist (Kansas City, MO)  5 Stars
July 02, 2009
This book seriously helped me a lot, and I recommended it to a co-worker. It's not about guilt and shame, it's about getting your life back, and doing it quickly. I am salesperson, and I actually struggled with a promotion, because it meant that I had to give up my lifelong dream of being a professional musician. This book helps with all kinds of grief, not just death of loved ones, but loss of childhood dreams, or even loss of a pet. No feeling are too trivial to address. This book is a lightning fast read too. I got to figure out why I was depressed and actually let it go in a dignified way. I thank God for letting me find this book. Without it, my past would have haunted me for life. I finally released pain I had since I was 17. You can't afford not to buy this book right now- if not for you, then buy it for anyone you think could use it. I would buy it for an enemy. I don't want anyone to feel this way for long if you don't have to.

The Grieving Process by B.Holling (California)  4 Stars
May 14, 2009
I wish I had known about this book years ago. I had so many losses in my life - so many horrific deaths. I did all the wrong things to try and cope. If I had read this book it would not have taken me so long to understand what was going on inside of me and I would have handled things better. I think I would have come to the peaceful place I'm at in my life now much sooner.

Amazingly helpful book by R0513 (Alaska, USA) 5 Stars
April 26, 2009
I suffered the loss of a loved one on August 9, 2008, and I never imagined that I would be stuck in such unbelievable pain for so long. It has truly been hell. Thank heavens for this book, because although I still have days where I feel awful, I can start moving forward with my life and learning to live again. It has been difficult, but this book has made a huge difference in the quality of my life.
So many people don't know what to say to a grieving person, and so many people are fearful of grief and loss. I felt so isolated. I was in really bad shape, and thank God I had professional help. However, I felt like I was stuck, as so many others have been. Having this book to read between therapy sessions was a lifesaver. It also helped me acknowledge that there were other, unhealed losses that I wasn't even aware of.
John also lost his son, and he was terrified at the suggestions of others that he would "never get over" the loss of a child. John is correct in that nothing can bring the child back, but you CAN RECOVER and heal.
I also like this book because it can be used by almost any type of griever, whether one is mourning a death, divorce, or any other loss. Thank you, John and Russell, for writing such a wonderful book.

Grief Recovery Handbook by Jo Consdance Leightner (CO) 4 Stars
April 04, 2009
This book is a lifesaver. It leads you through action steps for correct and right choices in participating in your own grief recovery. I highly recommend reading and doing the "work" that is suggested. Healing a broken heart is possible!
The authors take this book a step further than their previous book, by adding "intangible" losses such as faith, miscarriage, health, etc. which is extremely important.
