It is a very good book for a difficult subject: relationship between mothers and daughters, especially when the mother has some psychological problem. In this case is very hard to find out where (or who) is the "problem". In many cases  the daughter can be feel guilt, what is no necessary true, and this feeling of guilt will affect all her life, for a long time, if she will not be able to understand and accept that she is not the problem. Good readings like this book are absolutelly necessary to understand and accept this hard reality.

This is an excellent book for the child trying to cope with the death of a loved one.  Too many times a child thinks they are at fault when there is a death and this book really helps them to understand their loss.

My niece's age 2 & 7 recently lost there Mother & I was looking for a childrens book that could explain this to them at there age of understanding.  Although this book did well on the Dad's loss it really didn't give much to the child.  I recommend "Tear Drop Soup" even with it being the loss of the Mom in the Gramma's eyes. Both books do some good at explaining Loss!

This book made me very sad, but ultimately I think it can be a great encouragement to someone who has lost a loved one, especially a child.  Prayers and blessings to this family.

I would think someone who has experienced that kind of loss would be sympathetic to my pain as a grieving mother but knowing her personally I would say that her ego is bigger then her grief. I too am a grieving mother and she treated me horribly. Our journey is about love, not the bullying that she participates in.

After recently losing both parents, I was looking for some type of reassurance that even though they were gone from this world physically, their souls were still with us and could "communicate" if they so choose. I believe in Mediums and that a soul passed can be with you. I still have some degree of "guilt" when dealing with my loss, but did find a bit of comfort after reading the book. One day when I am emotionally ready, I would like to have a reading with Theresa.

I have three nephews who lost their mother when they were young boys. Dr. Berger's five styles or "types" of grieving, each movingly illuminated with personal stories, will help them understand themselves. Now in their teens and twenties and entering adulthood, I plan to arm each of my nephews with a copy this wise book as a tool for developing insight into how their profound loss affected and continues to affect each of them and their father. My hope is that the elegantly simple paradigm of the five types will help them see themselves and make choices that integrate their loss in a healthy ways, optimizing their chances for happy adult lives.

I read Why God Why after my Mom's death from cancer. I found it very helpful as I went through the grief process.

This was given to my brother who lost his daughter in March, at a very young age. I thought he could use this as a guide and reference, for his grieving process and how other fathers have dealt with their loss

My mom came to spend the first 6months of my baby's life with us. From overseas. It was  HUGE help. When she left, I gave her this book. It is a lovely way to pass on memories. My mother grew up in a place I have never visited, very different from where I grew up, so all the more important for my child to learn of her experiences. May not be right for you if your parent doesn't have good family ties. There's a lot about their parents, upbringing, etc.

I bought this for a young lady. She lost one of her favorite teachers and her mother told me she did not want to talk to anyone. So she said maybe I should talk to her. I thought when I see  a child who is sad. I think them talking to someone makes them a bit afraid. so I thought children love to read! so I got this book because it really showed what she was going through that she did not expect  it to happened . I first talked to her mother and asked if I could give the book to her. she said yes. and the young lady was very delightful and she thanked me. and gave me a hug. I said it will be  okay. her mother told me she has been already reading it. I believe because it is written by a theperaphist. it wil give her some comfort instead of her talking to someone if she is not ready,. I am glad I am able to help kids get through the pain.  thank u!

A very sweet book that explains how to remember a loved one after they have passed away in a way that a young child can understand.

I was given a copy to read after my Mother's death but had to return it.  Thought it was helpful and wanted my own copy to pass along to other friends in the same situation.

This book is one I read 14 1/2 years ago when my son Stephen was killed.  It helped me to grieve his loss.  I now purchase them to give to others who are bereaved.
