Lift Up Your Hearts: Meditations for Those Who Mourn

I searched quite a few book stores and on-line looking for books that would help me come to terms with the death of my father. This was by far the most accessible and comforting. It asks the questions you are asking in your heart--you can't even say them out loud--and helps you respond to them. The entries are short and in the format of 1) how you are feeling, 2) an explanation of why you're feeling this way and words about coping, and 3) a short prayer. There are these two-page "chapters," in this format, to get you through the early weeks of your loss and then for each holiday that will now be different for you and how you can deal with them. Extremely helpful. I haven't found anything else that is this frank and insightful about how one feels.
