Loving Grief

Having recently lost my husband, I found this the most helpful book on how to manage the pain while moving to gratitude of loving memories

This beautifully written book is about love and loss, and about one man's discovery of growing through loss and finding meaning in it. Rather than letting go of Bonnie, his beloved wife of 20 years who died of cancer in 2002, over time the author learns to let go of his grief and the pain of losing her. Ultimately he comes to recognize the gifts he has received from loving her, as he discovers who he was in her presence, and who he has become in her absence. An inspiring book that will bring comfort and hope to anyone mourning the loss of a love.

This book is a true gem. I recommend Loving Grief Loving Grief to everyone who has ever lost a loved one. It is simple, easily read, yet profound in it's impact. It can be read through or opened at random. The words and message are comforting and the poetry is beautiful. I have already given it to several other people experiencing grief, and just ordered more as gifts.

Not a "self-help" book--and better because of it. Just a beautifully transparent look at one man's struggle with the loss of his wife, and the search for how to integrate that reality into his life. Also a widowed man, I found myself deeply engaged in this book. It gave me comfort--normalized my grieving in a way that surprised me.

This book brought tears to my eyes. Loving Grief is well written from the perspective of a care giver and spouse. The insights help friends / family understand the sorrow, journey forward and another meaning for life after death.
