My mother-in-law passed away very unexpectedly. The funeral home actually gave this book to me as we were making arrangements, and I shared it with the whole family. It is so gentle, kind, and easy to read. It is full of beautiful poems, proverbs, and advice. It allows you to heal, and gives you permission to grieve and feel hurt and cry and rant and scream. It lets you know you are not alone in grieving, whether you have been dumped, or whether somebody has passed on. It is a truly heartfelt book that anybody, even people who don't typically read, will be able to read quickly, easily, and assuredly. While it is not a cure for the pain of loss, it is a good place to start.
