This is the revised and expanded version of Molly Fumia's collection of meditations and thoughts on the loss of a loved one.

This is not a cover-to-cover read. It is a tool to help you deal with the grief and sense of abandonment that comes with losing someone close to us.

It is the kind of book you should pick up when you see yourself staring into the hole left by a loved one. Pick a page at random and read from it:

Life will not go on the same without him. If it were the same, we could only conclude his life meant nothing, made no contribution. The fact that he left behind a place that cannot be filled is a high tribute to the uniqueness of his soul.

It is neither pagan nor christian oriented, referring simply to 'God', without using the politically correct 'Supreme Being' which so many books seem to steer towards these days.

This is not a happy book, by any means, for it deals with what is fundamentally an unpahhy subject. but some of it's passages are uplifting and insightful, and I would recommend it as a gift to someone who has recently lost their split apart.
