Very moving

I found this in one of my favorite used book stores, and I am really glad I did. I work in hospice and this book helped me grow in my personal life as well as in my work in hospice. It isn't a very long book but it is full of insight. I strongly recommend it.

At 53 my husband died of cancer, searching through the pain and void I came across this treasure!! I have reread parts, it is dogeared, I wish I could send Ruth a thank you, out of her pain she has given back to me,,, it has been only almost 8 weeks, I have read probably 30-40 books about grieving, widow,,, etc.... and this is THE best.... similar to so much of my husband's and my love story..... very sweet, and I do wish I had an update on her life!! Thank you

This is one of the finest works on the subject of loss yet written. Whether the reader is dealing with the recent loss of a loved one or needs comfort years after their beloved is gone, this piece of brilliant, honest writing is ideal. A wonderful job of writing, and a wonderful love story. A thank you is in order to Mrs. Coughlin. Your effort is greatly appreciated.

This is without doubt the most outstanding work on the subject of losing a spouse or lover. The rality and compelling writing make it a must read for anyone, whether they have suffered a loss or not.
It needs and deserves to be back in print...

This book is a "must read" for people who have lost a loved one, or for that matter, if you have lost anyone...or are facing the iminent prospect of death. (As we all are...) It is sensitive, realistic and most of all, it's a love story. It's honest and beautiful. It needs to be available...for everyone. I've never written a review before, and this book has moved me that much...
