A Blessing in Time of Need
...After our son died I was devastated. I needed to understand the feelings that I was now experiencing and how to cope with them. This book was the clearest and most compassionate resource on grief that I've found. Dr. Rando discusses every unique type of loss a person could face and then goes on to explain why you will feel as you do. The last part of her book is dedicated to helping you understand how to resolve grief and heal from such loss. So far I have given away 4 copies of this book to friends and family. I even gave one to my sons psychiatrist. They have all had high praises for the book. Personally, I don't know how I would have survived this past year without it!

a big help for a difficult time
I found this book to be really helpful. I normally don't read
"self-help" books, but after the loss of my Mom I needed some
guidelines; something to help me figure out if all my feelings
were normal, or if I might be headed in the wrong direction.
It also helped me to understand what other family members were
going through. The only thing I didn't like was the book title.
I think if I had gone to a book store, I wouldn't have chosen it.
But by being able to read other reviews here, I picked this book,
and it was a good choice. I definitely recommend this for anyone
trying to cope with a loss.

Very academic book
I have lost my mother four months ago. I was desperately looking for words of confort and also ways to understand my feelings and what I was going through. Even though I consider it an excellent book, it lacks something important for us mourners, the spiritual part. However if you are looking for a book that explains in a scientific way the feelings and emotions one can go through this is a good book. But again, it would be better to be read with another book that gives confort during such a tought time. Similar Products
