Review: This book will help you. (by Bill Thompson, author of The Bethlehem Scroll) - My wife died from a rare neurological disease two weeks ago. She had been "dying" for nearly a year, and we had the opportunity to say and do everything that neeeded saying and doing. I would have thought I was prepared. But after 42 years of marriage, how can one be prepared to begin the rest of his life alone, when I thought we had at least twenty more years together? The void I feel in my life and my heart is unexplainable to anyone who hasn't been there, I think. This book was a tremendous help. I read it last night, all in one sitting. I will go back and review a number of chapters, but I learned that some of the feelings I have, and the thoughts I'm processing, are not unique. That helps. There is a definite Christian perspective to this book, and the author is obviously a firm believer in God and the afterlife, as am I. If you are not, this book may not be for you. I found it comforting to read the author's thoughts (from his diary) and prayers he offered at the end of each chapter.
Review: Great for spouses, family, friends, and professionals - As a very recent widow, I was looking for something to help me better understand the grieving process and provide insight on how I could better gt through it. This is a very fine book, written by someone who has actually been through losing a spouse. It helped a lot knowing that the multitude of different feelings I am experiencing are normal and are part of the process. I highly recommend it as a gift to someone going through the death of a spouse. I also would love my friends and family to read it so that they understand some of what I'm going through. The book also would be helpful to professionals such as clergy seeking to help grieving spouses, especially if the professional has never experienced such a loss herself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent
*by B***E on March 22, 2014*

I give this book five stars because it was well written and was very informative. It is a must read for all as we all will experience grief sometime. I picked it up because I wanted to understand what people go through when they have lost a spouse and I was very glad I did. As a single person I now feel like I have a better understanding of the struggles my friends are dealing with during their grieving journey. The author was very open and honest with his own grief. Very very good read.
