    Chicken Soup for the Soul: Grieving and Recovery: 101 Inspirational and Comforting Stories about Surviving the Loss of a Loved One

    By Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Amy Newmark
    384 Pages (Paperback)
    Date Published: February 1, 2011

    ABOUT THE BOOK:

    Everyone grieves in their own way. While the hurt and sadness never completely fade, it eases with time. Contributors who have gone through the grieving and recovery process share their stories, offering guidance and support in this collection of personal and poignant stories. With its stories of regaining strength, appreciating life, coping, and faith, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Grieving and Recovery will ease the journey to healing.

    MY THOUGHTS:

    Grief for me is not something I handle well as I am sure many people struggle with.  Now I don’t think all the answers to move on and learn to grieve can be learned from a book, but at least for me I think a book would help.  Hearing other people’s real stories I think are great to read because they show how they dealt with loss, tragedy, moved on and just survived after a loss.  Chicken Soup for the Soul books in general are always so helpful and encouraging and this book is no different.  The stories are real and while they are sad they show how people found acceptance and happiness.  The book is a mini-support group.

      MANDATORY ENTRY: I have read quite a few Chicken Soup books and I LOVE all of them that I have read. They are exceptional books. And more than once I have cried after reading each story. SAD!

      I do read the Chicken SOup books. I love the inspirational stories and the format is perfect for reading just a story or two at a time
