Was disappointed in this book.
I ordered this book because the blurb on line looked like something that would help me with my journey. I am a widow of 6 months, my husband passed of a fast heart attack. I too, found him in bed and administered CPR to no avail. While I identified with the steps of the author, I could not relate to her presentation. For many of us of limited resources,the journey is quite different. I do not know how I would have afforded to bring his body home from a vacation in Mexico, his graveside service was $12,000, which will be paid off in 10 years. I certainly cannot take a lot of time from work, or fall asleep at a meeting. I appreciate that she has worked hard, but her journey is not even close to what many of us have, we will loose our home, and our families cannot just come out for a month, we have to take care of our own children. Therapy is expensive. I would venture she did not have to worry about her family's health insurance, many of us do. My husband worked for a major retailer and his company cut off spouse/family insurance 24 hours after he died. I am hopeful that one day we will all have some peace, but most of us are a long way away...
