Review:I was very disappointed and would not give a child such vague waffle. I suggest the author reads "The Thibetan Book of the Dead" or some of George King's brilliant teachings on life after death. As a child I was fortunate to be surrounded by people who were equally as keen to apply their intelligence to life as they were to death. As it is such a vital subject that affects us all, why do we continue to deal in child-like analogies. There are enough excellent books around that tell us oth... Read more

Review:Maggie Callanan, along with Patricia Kelley, wrote “Final Gifts”, a groundbreaking book about how people die. “Final Journeys” is a companion book and focuses on the care giver’s role and how they can best help the dying and take care of themselves at the same time. She explains how entering hospice care is not ‘giving up’, what paperwork the dying (which is all of us, really) should have completed to make things easier for themselves and their loved ones, that it’s okay for the dying and the fa...

Review:Great book, well written gives hope for anyone suffering from ANY mental illness. I found myself disturbed and in a funk while reading, but will certainly look further into DBT. I'm not borderline but can totally relate to Kiera's story since I've been to countless therapists and Psychs , numerous hospitalizations, and more meds than I can recall. The stigma surrounding mental illness HAS to be lessened and EQUALLED to any other disease, like cancer or heart disease!!!! I'm fascinated with Budd... Read more

Review:Many years ago, I was widowed - of all my friends, and all the literature I was given at that time, this is the thing that got me thru. Now I give one to any of my friends that suffer great loss. - They all say that this little volume helps immeasurably. - It's not a book to read, but poetry, affirmations, advice, wisdom and understanding to turn to - on any page, when it seems you can't go on. - I can't reccommend it hightly enough.

Review:Devoured this in one day. Lesson learned..If you aren't willing to feel it, you can't heal it. Repressed and stuffed emotions are killers. No one should live in their past, rather embrace, mourn and purge it through feeling, crying, forgiveness and making peace with yourself. I felt like I wanted to pick up the phone and chat with Naomi for hours after this read. For those who would say, "your past is in the past, nothing you can do about it...move on"..TRUE. But is you shove it under a rug... Read more

Review:This book was recommended to me for a family member. I have not read it, but did glance thru a few sections. I have been told it is "right on" when it comes to this unimaginable situation, by a friend who lost her husband. So I pass it on.... Read more

Review:My husband died in April. Eventhough we are not public people I shared many of the same emotions and reactions. Mine was not a sudden loss like Ms. Oates but we were both married a long time. I found it helpful. Read more
