Beginning Again

Terry Hershey has written a wonderful book to help those who have lost a loved one. I always have two extra copies on hand to give to my friends who may be experiencing a divorce or a death of a loved one. My own copy is highlighted and worn. I first read this book when a friend gave me a copy several weeks after my ex-husband left me. I made some "flash cards" from especially moving sections. I would read them over and over during the two years it took for the divorce to be finalized. Amazingly it really helped me let go of a lot of anger and help regain lost self esteem.The next time I read the book was after my mother died. She had been sick for awhile and her death wasn't a surprise. But after being her caregiver for several years, I felt so lost and useless. Reading Terry's words helped me through the pain once more move forward and begin life again feeling better about myself.When a book influences you not once, but twice in your life the way this one has me, it makes finding adequate words of praise nearly impossible. That said, if you have suffered any kind of loss at all, read this wonderful book. I know I feel blessed that my friend thought enough of me to share it.

This is a must read for anyone who has recently been involved in a divorce. Hershey has combined his experience with the grace of God to let you know how to recover.
