highly recommended

finally a book that works

I was so glad to recieve this book from a friend, following the death of a loved one. After reading the hand book I understood how natural many of the things I was feeling were. This information helped me to take the necessary steps to complete my losses while not burying the many memories I shared with those lost. It immidiately made a change in my outlook on the subject of grief, which I feel is a very neglected subject in our society today. I wish I had this information years ago because it is all you need to be prepared for loss whatever form it may take. It has also changed my relationships with those around me, allowing me to comunicate my feelings for them truthfully and freely. Thank you for this book.

Freedom from the pain

When my mother died, I was devastated and the pain was crippling. Reading The Grief Recovery Handbook and doing the exercises helped me get back into my life. I still miss my mom and I'm sad that she's gone, but the book helped me complete the pain from her loss. I strongly recommend it to anyone who has experienced a loss.

Actions speak louder than words

My brother sent me a copy of this book. Within 3 chapters I found that everything they talked about was true. I continued even though I was apprehensive from time to time. The result was like a 500 pound anvil had been lifted off my neck.

I have recommended this book and given copies to others. I have found that some people are more willing to do difficult emotional work than others. Those who do the work get better those who don't get smaller.

I am writing at this time due to the WTC mess. I am also letting you know if you don't already that I found the Handbook in Spanish. This has proven helpful for several of my employees.

Feels like a miracle

For more than a year after my father died, I felt as if I was going in slow motion, while the world raced past me. Time didn't seem to have done anything to heal me, in fact I was feeling worse. My friends tried to talk to me and help me, but I couldn't hear anything other than my own despair. One of my dear friends, in desperation, gave me a copy of The Grief Recovery Handbook. That simple act of kindness changed my life. In the solitude of my own home, without having to try to feel good so others would think I was okay, I began to read the book. Almost against my own will, I began to take the actions and do the exercises outlined in the book. One of the hardest parts about them, was that they were too easy. I began to realize how much I had been complicating the possibility of recovery by trying to use my head to fix my heart. As the direct result of creating an accurate picture of my entire relationship with my father, and completing what had been unsaid or unfinished, I regained the gratitude I felt toward life, and the energy with which to live it. While I have normal sadness and miss my dad from time to time, I am able to sustain a life of meaning and value, even though he is no longer physically here. What happened for me feels like a miracle, but in reality is the result of the safety and encouragement to take action provided by The Grief Recovery Handbook. I am eternally grateful.

The most helpful book I have ever read to help with loss.

It was refreshing to finaly find a book that touched my heart and gave me the specific steps that I needed to follow to heal my heart after the "death" of the relationship with my Dad. I only wish I had found The Grief Recovery Handbook years ago. The practical information makes sense and works. Now I am free to have access to the fond memories my Dad and I once shared.
