Review.jpg

This book is one that I didn't really want to read. I have not experienced the death of a spouse like the author; however I have experienced the loss of my brother last March. So many people have said kind things to me, prayed for me and even sent cards. Have I gotten past his death? No and I probably never will. What I did find in this book was honesty and pain. The author shares the devastating journey with her husband as he became so ill he couldn't care for himself. Caregivers are a jewel to have and I admired how the author stepped up and took care of her husband. There were days when it overwhelmed her, but she always turned to God for strength.

We don't know why things happen, but God will comfort us in our darkest days. There are many scriptures throughout the book that are very helpful and I looked each one up. I understood how at times she wanted to give up after her husband passed away. It is hard to be the one left behind to continue a life without your loved one. The book is geared mostly to the loss of a spouse but I found it to be useful to me as well. 

What I liked about the book was the process the author takes readers through in grieving and shows how there is joy in the midst of sorrow. I could feel her hope and determination to see what God had in store for her. He has a plan for each of us and through the author's journey He showed her what His plan was for her.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

  5. I haven't lost a husband, but I did lose a son a few years ago. Grief is so hard--but God is so good!

  6. My father in law was diagnosed with blood cancer in August. Thankfully, his prognosis is good. This would be a helpful book.
