About this audiobook
After the loss of a loved one, once the services are over and the relatives and friends have gone home, we are left to enter a strange new land, where someone who has given meaning to our life is gone. Drawing on her own experience as well as that of others, author Martha Whitmore Hickman presents a year's worth of meditations for people dealing with this profound loss, offering solace and illuminating a way forward. From January 1 to December 31, each day's meditation considers a meaningful quotation or passage on grief or suffering, with sources ranging Shakespeare to Emily Dickinson, from the Christian Bible to Hindu proverbs. A thoughtful, sensitive collection, Healing After Loss will comfort and inspire listeners on their journeys through grief toward recovery.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was an okay audio boo, but I had trouble getting used to the voice. I "lost" my twin flame and am not religious, but I liked the hint of afterlife in every few chapters. I intend to continue my relationship with my loved rather than "move on".
Thanks for the book Martha Whitmore Hickman.
