Healing after loss
I received many books after the death of my husband but ths one is by far the very best. It is beautifully written and very helpful to the bereaved no matter he or she happens to be on the journey of grief recovery. I lead a bevreavement group and give a copy of this book to our members and also to other persons who are suffering a loss. Very worhtwhile.

A Shared Journey Through Loss
Earlier this year my 43 year old daughter died unexpectedly of liver failure and I was searching for encouraging, inspirational support of my grief. Turning to Amazon I found several reviews that sounded promising and the free shipping on the order made me consider "Healing After Loss" as an add on under the listing of "People Who Bought....Also Bought...".
This small book has become the single most helpful tool in my journey through grief. The author unexpectedly lost her teenaged daughter and offers a unique perspective on the deep bond between mother and daughter without being overtly maudlin or "religious". However, the book is appropriate for anyone experiencing loss, not only of a child but also of a spouse or other loved one and certainly for professionals involved with the bereavement process.

Healing After Loss:Daily Meditations for Working Through Grief
This book is a daily reminder that healing takes time, but it does happen.
I start my day and end my day by reading the meditation of the day and it is very uplifting, practical and very easy to relate to when one is in the process of healing and grieving after the loss of a loved one. I gave it to our daughter and she found it to be just what she needed to help her with her healing and grieving.

Healing and Comforting
Healing after Loss: Daily Meditations for Working Through Grief by Martha Whitmore Hickman is very helpful after the death of a loved one. The author has experienced the loss of her daughter. My father died. Even though I feel that Martha's loss must be so much more difficult than mine, the comforting words and the thought for each day helped me to understand that grief may be experienced in many ways and it must be worked through in an individual way. I bought several copies to give to others when they experience loss.
Although there is some reference to religion, the over-riding message is comfort.

Best Daily Meditation Book Ever
This is the best daily meditation book I have ever used. Draws from a wide variety of traditions, and not one patronizing entry so far, after half a year.
