I bought this when I lost my father but never got around to reading it then. I found reading to be very challenging in the midst of the strongest of emotions. Other losses and challenges pushed me to dig deeper into God's Word, specifically pertaining to navigating grief in its many forms. In God's perfect timing, one of the first verses in this book was the exact verse I had sung with children at a Bible Study I led the same week. I loved how this study clearly organized the information to address different emotions and challenges, so I could focus on what I personally needed that day. I did not read this cover to cover but moved around sections as I needed. I've also gone back to sections to remind myself of God's assurances. I will keep this as a reference book.
