 The Grief Recovery Handbook August 4, 2008
I have received many books on grief since the sudden death (by suicide) of my 23 year old son in 2007. THIS BOOK IS EXCELLENT and has been the most helpful book to me!
Please consider getting this book - if not for yourself, than for someone you may know who is dealing with grief as a result of ANY loss. My mom died when I was 12 years old, and my father's way of "handling" his grief was to become engaged one month later to a woman that he only knew for five days. He thought that he had to find a new mom for my younger sisters and me. We were never allowed to speak of our mother! My father became an alcoholic, and later became estranged from all of us. These actions still impact my sisters and me - decades later.
Through this book, I have learned not to "rush" through my grief. It has literally been a life-saver to me.
 A Different Look on Grief Recovery July 27, 2008
This is a hopeful book that can help you work through your grief even if it is a death, divorce, job loss, or other major loss. If you are over 40 there is a 1 in 3 chance someone close to you will have died during that year. Our society celebrates life, and de-emphasizes grief and the death of our loved ones. Well meaning people say things like this was meant to be, they are out of pain now, and you will find someone else.
Your situation is unique. Even if you find someone with what is on the surface a similar loss, for example, the loss of a child, your situation is dramatically different than their situation and your recovery will be equally as unique. This book offers ideas different than keep yourself busy, and life goes on, it addresses how you feel and how to work through your feelings. I would recommend this book those who have lost.

The Timeless Book That Gets You Through. February 6, 2008
6 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is the Timeless Book that gets you through Grief. "The Grief Recovery Hand Book, The Action Program For Moving Beyond Death Divorce and Other Losses" needs to be in every home. This book takes you beyond all losses. However you must be willing to do the grief work to get there. The main cornerstone of this book is the loss history graph.
The loss history graph can help you to sort out the past from the present and clear the way for a better future. This book actually takes you to a new place no matter what the loss. I give five stars because I own three copies. One copy is the first edition which is all covered with hand written notes. Two copies of the second edition one to study and a loaner copy.
A Necessity January 23, 2008
This is an incredible book that helps you to process your losses. This is great for anybody. It should be a requirement for all helping professionals to understand how to be the best support to those who you will be assisting.
