Grief One Day at a Time: 365 Meditations to Help You Heal After Loss

Just what I need to start my days and journal my feelings. More spiritual than religious...perfect.

Because it’s a 365 day, and you read the daily message for today’s date, it might not be applicable for where you are in your grieving process. There were a few messages that I just had to wonder where the heck these people were coming from. Then I’d read the next couple of messages and it hit me right in the heart, spoke directly to my sole. This book was a gift to me, and I have gifted it to others.

This will help you get through the difficult first year. It gives you something to focus on every day. Read it before you go to bed … read it if you wake up in the middle of the night. Read it in the morning when you get up and face another day. Also read it aloud to your loved one…. Look around… sometimes interesting coincidences happen.

This book is extremely helpful in getting me through my grief counseling w/ my support group.

It has been 11 months since losing my husband (we had been married 41 years) and while I have the hope of a resurrection that keeps me going, I found this daily text book beneficial - particularly June 26 day's information about being a widow that resonated with me - in light of anticipating the first anniversary of my spouse's death. There are three parts each day (each day is a short page) that I appreciate - a quote, then an explanation that delves deeper into the particular topic, and a final summary in a sentence at the end. Great to reflect on the points and encouraging to deal with grief. Finding it valuable and just started using it this week.

I can't express in words how wonderful this book is. Having lost my husband just over a year ago and this book has been immensely helpful to me. Grief does not go away but this book can give insight on how to deal daily. Don't hesitate to buy this book, I have recommended it to many and have gifted it also

Its hard to see the print - too light.

After losing a loved one, I found the book from a friend. It has been very useful to pick up the book and read a little comforting thought each day. Tends to calm the remembrances with a gentle thought.

A helpful, easy-to-digest, daily support for anyone who is grieving.There is so much misunderstanding about grief in our culture: those of us who are coping with loss can feel that our grief is unwelcome in 'polite society' - crying, sobbing, feeling suicidal - all of these are completely normal and yet are often seen as signs of mental ill health. What a bereaved person needs more than anything is understanding and compassion; someone who will sit with them 'in the fire' (not an easy thing to do!). This book goes some way to providing that steadying, compassionate companionship.

The very best idea, as these things take time and just a little time. The delivery and time taken was first class Thank you.

After a long battle with mental illness, my mother in law passed away and left us with many unanswered questions. This book has helped tremendously with the slow emergence from the deep grief that we all felt. The short, daily content promotes reflection and self-awareness, and helps one come to terms with the cylces and changes of life. I highly recommend this book for those experiencing sadness and grief from the loss of a loved one.

What a wonderful collection of comforting, wise sayings. There is just enough there to have some impact, but not too much reading to make it a big investment of time. Little bites of comfort. I really enjoy reading and pondering on these little flashes of wisdom.

I gave this book as a gift to a close friend who was grieving, better than flowers etc.
