After the sudden death of my son, this book was given to me by a dear friend (Who had also lost a child). She said this book had helped her "Get through it" in the early days of grief. One never gets over the loss of a loved one, but this book was a tremendous help to me is just learning to live with it. I have since given it to others and they have all shared that the book helped them very much.

Wonderful book for someone grieving
I have read this book for almost a year now, since my husband passed away last August. I believe I will continue to read it every day for many more months. It is so refreshing and inspirational. I have purchased several copies to share with other friends who have lost dear ones.

Help With Grief
Martha Hickman's book was a Godsend to me. Each day after the death of my son, I read the the short, concise , but deep encouraging words. It is hard to concentrate after the death of a loved one so the short readings were just enough to give me hope for the day, but not too long. I was ministered to each day with a variety of quotes, Scriptrues and beliefs that helped me make it through that first year. I order this book for grieving friends.

Great book
I bought this book at the recommendation of a grief counselor after the sudden death of my husband. It is a valuable resource that I use each day. Most of the time it gives me food for thought. Once in awhile I don't care for the entry but I believe that has more to do with how I am feeling at that moment and where I am in my grief journey.
