"For grieving people who learn and feel comfort through reading, Audrey Stringer's timely book will be a Godsend. In a small book easy to carry with you, you will share a grieving journey of an insightful woman whose son died of suicide, whose granddaughter died at birth, and whose husband died after a brief illness. These three deaths combine with the deaths of a grandmother, a treasured friend and others in her personal and professional life. Her explanations of her responses to grief, copies of her own journal entries from those times and lists of valuable tips and further resources all come together to provide practical and immediately useful information.

More than that, her words provide a physical hug from the page to your heart. She has been there on the roller coaster ride that is grief too often. As she says, grief feels less like a deep wound and more like an amputation. Being a professional grief counsellor does not mean grieving is easier. "Who wants to be an expert on losing their loved ones?!" summarizes why her personal, painful and ultimately hope filled
experiences end up in a book -- they are there to provide you and I will information, strength, courage and hope."
