There is Never a Good Time by Samuel R. Mayer (Albuquerque)  5 Stars

I recommend this book. by ~S~ (Phoenix, AZ) 5 Stars
November 17, 2009
I am going through a horrible loss of my boyfriend to a homicide. Nothing I feel will ever really "help" me. I can say though, that this book has been with me a lot lately. It doesn't help the pain, but maybe helps you see that others have experienced something similar....still reading it.

The Right Book by Solo Papa (Indiana) 5 Stars
November 01, 2009
I've been a widower for two years. Over this time, I've read many books on grief. This is the best I've seen. It does a comprehensive job of touching on the many types of loss, and offers helpful suggestions for coping. Something I particularly liked was that it doesn't rely on religious platitudes as a solution for grief. Rather, the authors encourage you to vent your anger at your creater - he (or she) is big enough and compassionate enough to take it.
I would suggest this book to anyone who is dealing with grief. It doesn matter whether the loss just occurred, or is several years old.

I was not ready to say goodbye. by Patricia S. Clark 5 Stars
October 29, 2009
Thank you so much for a wonderful book. I wish I had found out about this title sooner into my grieving process. 10months ago I lost my best friend, husband, and a wonderful man from Cancer. I have felt like at times that I am going quite mad during the process of grief and to read this book has been a godsend to me. I know now that it is not me going mad but all part of the grieving process. It has allowed me to release a lot of pain and hurt that has been forwarded by "well meaning" friends and relatives. I now more understand how the mind works during this time and it is OK to feel just the way I am. I am not mad, I am not going crazy, I am not putting too many demands on myself or those around me. It is all normal and I am allowed to take my time during the process. Thank you for your words of wisdom and compassion. I would recommend this book to everyone, wether you are grieving or not. One day you may need it for yourself or someone close to you.
