I haven't read the book myself, yet. I had gotten a copy of it a couple of years ago for one of my sisters, when her husband passed on suddenly. She said it was so very helpful in getting through the grief. I recently ordered a copy for a neighbor's sons after he passed away suddenly.
I ordered another copy last week for my brother and sister-in-law, when their son passed on suddenly.
