Summary: A Book to Keep on Giving...
Comment: We Americans tend to avoid the subject of death, yet most of us will have to face the death of a parent. Barbara Bartocci has provided a sensitive and practical how-to for the grief process. I particularly like how she uses real situations of people she knows to provide the backdrop for wise suggestions for how to grieve, or at least understand the different ways in which the grief impacts our actions, thoughts and sometimes beliefs. I have given this book to at least six family members or friends who have lost a parent in the past year. All have told me how much this book has helped them to understand and cope with feelings they didn't realize were impacting them with such force. I suggest those who minister to the bereaved keep copies of this book to lend or give.

Summary: A must for any adult who's lost a parent
Comment: When I was 12 years old, my father died six weeks after a massive heart attack. A month ago, four days before my 34th birthday, my mother died suddenly. I'm a late-comer and my siblings are a much older than me. They have their families. I have my career. Although my religious beliefs give me peace, there is still an immense sadness. I am not yet married, my beloved will never know my wonderful parents. Any children I may have will never know their maternal grandparents. Both of my grandfathers died before I was born, so this causes me grief for what my children who aren't even born yet have lost.
This book is wonderful and helped me to understand different feelings that I've been having and let me know that these feelings are not unique.

Summary: Not much comfort
Comment: This book was recommended by a Christian counselor after the death of both my parents within about a year's time. I found little comfort in the message of this book. The book looked at death from a New Age standpoint (we can find our comfort in the beauty of mother nature), from the Universalist standpoint (everybody goes to heaven when they die), and the Roman Catholic standpoint (we can pray to other dead people who are in heaven to help our recently deceased loved ones). The book never presents the cause for eternal salvation provided in God's Word - that faith and trust in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is our means to eternal life with God. Neither of my parents ever spoke about trusting in Jesus Christ prior to their deaths, and it is difficult not knowing if they understood the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If we embrace the message of this book, then there's little need to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth, because either everybody goes to heaven, everybody joins to nature, or we can pray for them after they've passed away. I'd rather use the pain of my parents passing to encourage me to try harder to spread the Gospel of my wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.
