I recently lost my beloved father following a lengthy illness and numerous hospitalizations. His death, though expected, was very devastating---and has bruised my heart. I bought "Chicken Soup for the Grieving Soul" last week, and read several of the stories daily. Each and every one has given my heart a boost!! Reading the sincere stories of others' losses and how each is dealing with their own grief is helping me through my own grieving process. A wonderful source of inspiration and healing!!
Once again Canfield and Hansen have produced a thought provoking book. Death and loss is never an easy subject and anyone experiencing loss will see that they are not alone in their feelings. I would also recommend the following items for those wishing to find comfort and a way to work through their grief.1. Healing Stories of Grief and Faith, From Denial and Despair to Comfort and Peace2. Write From Your Heart, A Healing Grief Journal3. And for children a video, After the Tears, A Gentle Guide to Help Children Understand Death.
Another great book in the popular Chicken Soup series. Heartwarming.I am going to use this book in my grief class along with Healing Stories of Grief and Faith and Write from Your Heart.
I have been a big fan of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books since the first book in the series was published. Overall I have found the books to be both uplifting and helpful, and now that the books are published for specific audiences, I have found the books to be jammed packed with great stories. Many of the books do lift the human spirit and are quite useful to people in ministry, teachers, and other people in human service professions. I believe that this volume will be especially helpful to people who have to work with people who have experienced a loss or friends who are trying to comfort someone in pain. Judging from another reviewer, people experiencing loss have also found comfort with the stories in the book.I have not read the stories in this book while grieving the loss of a loved one. I have read the stories at moments when I have had to help grieving people. I have found that the stories give me a perspective that helps me reach out to those who are experiencing a loss. This is not a book that contains the "right thing to say." More often than not, presence speaks louder than words, and the stories can help us be present to people who are experiencing a loss.
A major tear jerker. But a pleasant read. Although I wish more stories didn't involve grieving during Christmas. Felt like that was the subject of the book and I didn't like it much because not everyone grieves then and most importantly not everyone celebrates it. I don't know. Just my own opinion.
I was quite disappointed in this book. My husband passed away and I was reaching out for "help" in any way I could find it....in dealing with losing my husband. I haven't finished the book YET, but I've read 1/2 and so far, it's too "broad". Wish they would come out with a Chicken Soup for the Grieving Soul...on both the loss of a husband or wife. In other words, seperate from all grieving souls. I lost both parents, and the loss of a spouse to me, if very different and hurts a whole lot more.
I bought this book for class as required for character study. It truly is a heartwarming book and a great read for people trying to find light in times of darkness or perhaps just relate to the pain of losing someone.
This beautiful book was published about a year after my father passed from Alzheimer's. After writing my own book, as something to hold on to during my grieving time, I found a lovely surprise with this lovely Chicken Soup book as it comforted me and put me in that gentle healing place with the all the many contributors of this 'grief' book. I was amazed at the many synchronicities and concidences that were shared after the passing of their loved ones. For I had many heavenly experiences with my daddy as well. I felt relieved, very safe, very loved and very much belonging to this whole group of authors who graced me, the reader, with their sweetest private moments of healing. Thanks, Jack and Mark, for the beautiful stories and most perfect timing for me.
