It is hard to begin again

This book offers great insight. Well done.
I also found that using my grief journal, Write from Your Heart, A Healing Grief Journal, along with this book was beneficial. I am creating a memory journal and it is helping.

Says there aren't always answers but there is always hope

Going beyond books with glib answers and easy how-to formulas for handling life's deepest and most painful losses, the author of this book has the honesty to acknowledge that grief is often very personal, mysterious and not easily resolved. What's more, the author seems to be saying, sometimes there is value in simply listening to grief and learning from it. I don't mean to imply that Levy always has a "wait and see" approach to grief, however. As a former rabbi for a Conservative congregation on the West Coast, her advice is solidly grounded in Jewish values and each section ends with a heartfelt prayer, lending perspective to her words. She also gives numberous examples of how individuals handled the most difficult losses one can face, from seeing family perish in the Holocaust to losing a child or spouse. This is an inspirational, warm and very engaging book.

An Answer!

I am a Christian, but I found in Naomi Levy's book answers that I have not found elsewhere. Her understanding of grief has helped me tremendously and I feel I would like to give her book to everyone who has not understood where I am coming from. It has been a tremendous comfort to me. My loss has been the death of a significant relationship,not always adressed elsewhere.

Words of wisdom

I became visually impaired (legally blind) February 2000 and I am unable to read books with my own two eyes. I have found the next best way-audios! It has opened a new world for me and now I can "listen" all I want. Listening to Naomi Levy's book, To Begin Again, opened my eyes to looking at my loss as a way to open new doors and meeting new people. The loss of my vision put me in a tail spin. I now look for new ways to read and write for myself. The computer has also given me a way to express myself. I do NOT the loss of my vision interfere with living and I have started a new beginning for myslef. I would love to meet Naomi Levy to tell her how much her book touched my heart and soul.

My Rrabbi has been very inspirational for my new beginnings.

Praise

This is a diamond of a book. I only wish Ms Levy had others to read.
Her book should appeal to Jews and Christians alike for we are truely one people. I thought her descriptions of pastoral work was enlightening and provided an interesting glimpse into the Jewish world that I know so little about. Her prayers are an inspiration and I (as a Christian) read them almost daily.
Don't miss this one it's realllly gooood!
