"The prayers reflect the many moods and seasons of grief. I lovingly share them with you just as I would a pot from my kitchen, a paintbrush from my tool shed or a pencil from the desk where I write. They are yours to draw strength from. The tools that will lead you to peace are courage, positive thinking and prayer….And of these tools, prayer is perhaps the most powerful. Prayer is your bridge to God, a limitless source of help and strength." —From the Introduction

There are a few first-person accounts of grieving available, but this one is a gem in its simplicity. I read this in one setting, and it is a quiet yet honest accounting of the grieving process.
