Still in a lot of emotional pain. Your book helped me so much! I was thinking I may be losing my mind. But now I know that it's the grief I'm experiencing. I've had 2 more deaths since my mom died and I now know I need professional help to get thru. Thank you!

I needed this book

This book has helped me so much. It has made me feel normal. Everything I have been feeling is described in this book. Thank you.

10 Months Later.

Loved the storyline, but still struggling with the loss 10 months later. I guess more time is needed.

Definitely needed

I started listening to this just a few weeks after my mom died unexpectedly and continued slowly for a few months. It was incredibly helpful to validate many feelings I had. Definitely what I needed.

Great book

I lost my mom 3 and a half years ago now and still have good days and bad days. This book is so helpful in making me feel like I'm not alone.
